Shimano Patent Reveals a Co-Axial Brake Mount
There is a LOT of prior art on this. I wonder if the purpose of this application is to just invalidate any other claims to a coaxial universal brake mount.

Review: Kavenz VHP16 - The Commenter's Dream Bike
I'm convinced most of the commenters who are obsessed with gearboxes have never pedaled a bike with a gearbox. If people really wanted bikes that are harder to pedal, ebikes wouldn't be dominating new bike sales.

Shimano Files Patent for Two-Pronged Derailleur Hanger
I did! On a Syntace X-12 hanger system with the bolt designed to sheer. It worked exactly as intended and saved the derailleur. Pretty sad it was never taken up as the universal hanger option, as it preceded UDH by several years.

Industry Digest: Chris King Secures Internal Routed Headset Design Patent, Latest Revenue Reports & More
I wonder if we're seeing higher revenues for some companies at the same time as decreasing sales for DTC brands because US retailers are stock-piling inventory in fear of new tarriffs. Seems like the growth for brands like Leatt might be temporary.

Review: Fox Podium Fork - Heavy, Expensive, Upside-Down, & Excellent
@andelinc: 20mm is not for strength, but rather adds a lot of stiffness for a very small weight penalty.

Kostrikin Bikes Announces its First Production Steel Hardtail Frame
The egregious copying of Outlier pedals kind of discredits everything about this brand for me...

Counterpoint: Gearboxes Are Overhyped
Hot take: The people who are most passionate about gearboxes and belt drives have never tried them.

Spreading plastic glitter flakes on the trails isn't very cool. I've used corn meal for the same purpose and it seems to do the trick. I wonder if something lower density like dried basil flakes might work well too.
