Video: The Origins & Evolution of the Leatt Neck Brace

@polaiz02: And this is the crux of the problem with the data and making claims based apon this data - those % are not statistical analysis, which determines if something has occurred by chance or not. very importantly, there is no control group (no - the no neck brace injury group is NOT a control group),. We need to know how many riders total are there, how many riding hours per injury? Knowing this means we could actually determine a % outcome of whether neck braces are or are not effective. Knowing this the difference between these two groups may be significant or may not be. Unfortunately the results from this data set does not pass even basic scientific scrutiny. Which is a real shame as a little more background data would have made this an amazing publication.

Video: The Origins & Evolution of the Leatt Neck Brace

@Mtmw: Its an impression collection of raw data, but its not published, has no statistical analysis and has made some claims that are potentially flawed because of this. Get some sport science folk involved, science the shit out of this and maybe get a pretty decent idea of the efficacy of neck braces.

Video: Tire Pressure is Way More Important Than You Might Think - The Explainer

@jclnv: corner faster until the tyre tears off the rim, then you faceplant. Its a fine line working out low can pressures go.

AusCycling Will Not be Entering Riders for the Maribor DH World Cup

@savagelake: your daily corona virus death toll, while it might be acceptable in your country, we decided in our country we didn't want to have to dig mass graves and the like. Shit is going great here, and I say that sitting here in complete lockdown for the next 5 days whilst waiting for a small outbreak to clear.

WeThePeople Postpones Full Suspension BMX Project Following Social Media Backlash

I know nothing about BMX, but that was the opinion of many in the early and mid 90's regarding suspension in MTB, now look were we are.

Tom Van Steenbergen Breaks Femur, Rib & Punctures Lung

Bone responds very rapidly to loading, so by putting weight on in ASAP actually speeds up the healing process. Obviously you have to be careful and guided by what the surgeon or rehab peeps say is acceptable. In our ortho wards we have people standing the same day as they have hip and knee replacements, or 24 hours at the latest.

@getsomesy: XL rider here, my 210mm dropper is 15mm from the minimum insertion line on a seat tube that is 509mm long. Us XL riders need longer seat tubes.

Ask Pinkbike: Carbon vs. Aluminum Rims, Mismatched Drivetains, Coil Shock Sag, & How Much Travel Does a Beginner Need?

The issue is with this from the extended riding group, you go away for a riding weekend, and we dont get many of those. Alloy rim dings, keep riding all weekend, carbon breaks, no more riding for that weekend. Plus the time and expense of claiming warranty and often paying for a wheel build (depending on brand plus rim vs complete wheel purchase).

Bike Check: 9 of the Pinkbike Office Staff's Personal Rides

Is pinkbike sponsored by SRAM for brakes? They are not very popular around these parts except for OEM.
