First Ride: Crankbrothers Launches Waterproof Riding Boots
Proper wide feet here, Lake is the only shoe that actually feels comfortable. Sizing can be confusing though - their lasts have different widths but even the regular is actually wide. Measure twice before ordering.

Kate Hastings & Riko Mäeuibo Win the iXS EDC Round 5 at Szczyrk
Congrats, Riko! Keep in mind: Estonia is flat as a pancake. We don't have any proper DH tracks to train on.

Finally a shape that Lake had some 10-15 years ago already.

Puck Pieterse Will Race Road & Gravel World Championships Instead of North American World Cups
2027 will be in France. It will be "super world champs" similar to the one in Scotland last year.

Nino Schurter & Malene Degn's Wireless Electronic Drivetrains - Albstadt World Cup XC
Hacking into bluetooth would not be a sabotage as Sram's etap is not using bluetooth. Instead, it's a proprietary system, closer to ANT+ instead of Bluetooth.

7 XC Bike Checks from Albstadt World Cup
Agree. To make it easier for the editor:
- There are no SRAM Guide Level brakes
- Once again you call the grips foam grips whereas they are actually silicone
- Someone already pointed out that Florian's bike has SRM power meter, not Quarq.

DVO 2017 Preview - Crankworx Whistler 2016
@jimmiedurango: Sure, no problem. Not all lands are created equal. From where I come, we don't have mountains. Some say we even don't have hills. The trails here are tame compared to what most of PB audience is used to. Nearly no rocks, maybe some arm-sized roots here and there but nothing that would really flex the 32mm fork legs. The longest descent you can find here is about 1-2 minutes. But we do have plenty of snow and mud where wide tires are handy. We also have short, punchy and steep climbs where grip is needed. Was that enough and are we now allowed to run "skinny" stanchions with wide tires? Also, remember - 3.4" is maximum. You don't really have to go to the max all the time everywhere. 2.5" + extra mud clearance is nice too.
