I think folks must be missing that he smashed his face on that log at the end of his crash. 12 should rank near the top of the survey.

Bike Industry Successful in Avoiding New US Steel & Aluminium Tariffs
I had not heard of Guardian bikes, but it is a bit ironic that their bikes are not built in the US. That is their goal. But right now, they are made elsewhere and assembled here. This is exactly the same as occurs at every Walmart across the country. So their website sort of misleads with lots of references to "made in the USA", but at the end of the day, this isn't the case. Oh well.

Radical Launches Updated 'Grim Ripper' Steel Hardtail
By chance, the name of that brand was given above in a comment by Takaya94 "Sick bikes, solid price on the frame too! " Or perhaps that was the most subtle PInkbike pun ever.

Radical Launches Updated 'Grim Ripper' Steel Hardtail
@radicalbicycleco: Is this made in the UK? It looks a lot like a Marino frame, from Peru.

The tanktop in 48 is a fail for me.

Spotted: Loic Bruni on Unidentified Prototype Brakes
@TEAM-ROBOT: Thermal expansion creates tension on the brake spokes/supports. If angled forward, the braking forces compress. So the forces balance/cancel better. If angled backwards (like in the photo), both effects add to each other. Probably not the end of the world as many of us have mounted our rotors backwards and had no ill-effects. But I am 99% sure the logic I mentioned at the start of this comment is why most brake rotors have the shape they do.

Does anyone know what the brand is of that wrist brace? Looks unusual and I am curious if it has benefits beyond the braces I have tried. Thanks.
