Review: SeaSucker Talon Bike Rack - Does It Suck?
I have an offbrand one that I leave in my wife's car with on roofrack or hitch so I can meet her places afterwork on my commuter bike. its fine for that but I wouldn't want one as my primary. My car has a 3 slot 1up hitch rack for actual riding trips.

Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
I was on team both with my sentinel (30mm spacers + 35mm rise bar) but now on team neither with my gg gnarvana (5mm spacer + 20mm rise bar) Yay for bikes that fit.

Looks like a magic mary knock off, not that would be bad.

Review: Raaw Madonna V3 - Yes, It's Still Great
I was looking at a v2 but then bought a gnarvana for a steal with very similar geometry. As a taller guy the high stack and long chainstay combo is money. This would be #1 on my shortlist if I needed a new bike.

Henry's Waffle House: All-Mountain Bikes Are Back, and They're More Pointless Than Ever
I agree with Henry here, last year I changed from a sentinel v1 to a gnarvana and feel like its better for everything. The extra travel doesn't cost me anything noticeable climbing but is definitely worth it on the down, and the zeb is so much better than the lyric it's hard to believe. I also went alloy to carbon so lost some weight in the process and much prefer the longer chainstays on the gnarvana for my XL bike. I have this matched with a trail hardtail with a 140 fork and lighter tires for when I want to spice it up making a great PNW quiver and I always have a backup ride in case something is broken. Both were bought used so I'm still into it less than a midrange new bike at msrp.

Pinkbike Poll: What's The Least Awful Word That Means 'Not An E-Bike'?
@pisgahgnar: I have a yuba spicy curry. the terns weren't out when I bought it and are quite a bit smaller in reach so they don't fit me well at 6'3". It's been a good bike but I wish it had double batteries like the newer ones, heavy bike + hills + gear + cold short range.

Review: 11 of the Best Women's Riding Pants Ridden & Rated
$150+ for made in china pants seems crazy. I ride in $30 amazon hiking pants that were also made in china and are just fine. If I wanted to splurge I would buy some NFs or maybe 7mesh if they are made in canada.
