28 Handlebar & Stem Setups of Enduro World Cup Riders
I used to think my ideal bar width was around 780 but my mangled pinkie insisted I ride with 760, genuinely amazed by the difference that width made to the tree smacking incidents and now it feels natural.

Race Report: The Long Awaited Return of The Naughty Northumbrian
Incredible route and trails - properly taxing and a real mix of tech, steep and flow. Props to the trail builders you lovely evil b*stards!
I do hope NDH have a little think on the event overall though. It was decent but a few issues and the camp site was half empty compared to previous years; not sure why, perhaps the lacklustre marketing efforts need beefing up.
No readiness for the long forecast rain was a surprise - the arena became a mud bath early on with no straw etc to manage that and they still insisted on putting all the riders through it at the start on the Sunday. I hope everyone got away ok at the end of the weekend - I had to leave early due to illness but only just got the car out then!

Review: Formula Cura 4 Brakes
The reduced pressure is definitely a factor, but also having the bite point nearer the bar seems to change the muscle fatigue when using the brakes heavily on long, steep sections. When I moved mine in closer I noticed a big reduction in arm pump.
