Two wheels keep me from self-destructing. Doesn't matter if it's pedal mashing, throttle twisting, or downhill slaying.

Randoms From European Brands - Eurobike 2026
Feel like I'm missing something in the new capless speed valves. The feature it mentions is taking out the core and adding sealant. I've been doing it that way since tubeless came out with regular presta valves. Am I doing it wrong or something? What is the advantage to this system?

Pinkbike Poll: Would You Buy A 32" Wheel Bike?
When 29" wheels came out the bikes were trash. Short travel with awkward riding positions, and hard to corner. Now 29" wheels rip. Maybe 32" wheels takeover. Who knows. Try it and see.

Shimano Introduces Two New SPD Pedals
If it ain't broke don't fix it. My 20yr old M520's have been through 5 Seattle CX season, 100's of mud rides, and 1 bike / car incident and I've never done a single thing to them, yet they still work like new.

Pinkbike Poll: What Made You Stop Caring About Enduro?
A bike race that includes waiting for your turn is not my thing. I love riding DH and eduro style trails, but I like racing cyclocross and XC because no waiting around. Watching any bike race has also become too difficult.

Review: Sidi Dominator X Shoes - A Tougher Take on XC Footwear
I have the older model. Like all Sidi products I've owned they're super high quality and last forever. Add $50 to the price tag to buy new insoles. The OEM ones are paper thin and shouldn't even ship with the shoe.

Reader Story: Why This Rider Took a Mountain Bike to Colorado’s Highest Peaks
One of the few Pinkbike articles where I read the whole thing. Bike and part reviews are fun, but I typically skim them and read the pros and cons. Human experiences on a bicycle that have meaningful impact to a soul are a much better read.

SDG Releases New ‘Open Core’ Thrice Grips
@FaahkEet: I don't have a ton of time on them, but you can feel the softness of the cutout. It's subtle but seems to help. These are also really good and I have way more ride time on these. https://us.leatt.com/collections/components/products/grips-reaflex-6-0-thin
