Video: Do You Really Need To Replace Your Helmet After Every Crash? Ben Cathro Investigates
@mikekazimer: This is great news! Can't wait to see what you can do with that and really looking forward to some of the outcomes, and if you can elaborate at this point, what sort of stuff are you planning on testing?

THIS! The same can be said for a lot of different things in the cycling world. Tyre companies should give us the actual hardness of different compounds, brake companies should tell us exactly how much mechanical and hydraulic leverage is produced (at different reach measurements too), knee pad companies should tell you exactly how much they absorb impacts, handlebar and rim companies should give us some actual raw data in relation to compliance, etc etc. And if the companies won't do it, the reviewers and journalists should be doing these tests themselves. So far enduro magazine and bikerumor are the only two that I have seen actually do anything along these lines. It's a shame that pinkbike never really do this because it would be incredibly useful for consumers, especially alongside the seemingly pretty good reviews that they are doing these days

Welcome to the 2024 Downhill Field Test
@rocky-x: I saw a bunch (maybe 2 or 3?) being ridden down pleney last summer in morzine. Lovely looking things. As are Ben Walker’s Scott Gamblers with steel front ends that can often be seen around there

First Ride: Magura Relaunch the Gustav Pro Brakes
I’d be more intrigued to see what they’re like with a Maven lever, as it might solve some of the alleged issues with both systems

Rónán Dunne Presented with Red Bull Helmet at Hardline
@Hectorres2001: I mean downhill helmets are getting bigger anyway, just look at the current offerings from Bell, Giro, and 6D. It seems like these are all gaining traction more than any other helmet, and there’s been a general move towards more moto-influenced gear over the past couple of years

YT Industries Releases Retro-Inspired Jeffsy Uncaged 13
@justinfoil: Yeah a well bled set of Guides or G2s (any of the ones with bearings in the lever) are actually pretty good if they're well aligned with good rotors and decent properly bedded in pads, although they do have a bit of a low ceiling as far as overheating is concerned. The aftermarket alloy lever piston makes a pretty big difference to consistency too

As in the last ones that were branded as Avid? They were supposedly really good and were being used by people like Semenuk at Rampage until surprisingly recently
