Beyond Pedal Kickback: What's Really Causing Drivetrain Feedback?
Back in my freeride days i had an Orange Patriot 66, it definitely had pedal kickback. But,,,, only if you slam the suspension hard at low speed. We were doind a lot of that, you know freeride, ride into a drop undr 10 mph drop 10 -12 feet ride out at 10 mph. Kickback aplenty as much as 1/4 crank rotation sometimes enough to blow your feet off the pedals. We noticed something, it varied depending on what gear you were in.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Enjoy Riding In the Mud?
Riding in mud sucks until you are covered in it, then my brain just goes "f*ck it" and then it's hilarious. Cleaning your gear afterwards, not so much fun.

SRAM Releases Maven B1 Brakes - Lighter Action, Similar Power
V4s are awesome new Evo gr4s are even better. Evo Gr4s solved the bleed issues on v4 which i admit is a pain in the ass. I have both. Have used mavens plenty, would prefer either of the hopes anyday.

Bike Check: Tobukumo 20KO
That top tube can f*ck right off though. Do people seriously think this looks good? Why do bike designers keep doing this? It's like they design a half-way good looking bike and think "hmm, you know what would make this look like a steaming pile of shit? Let's just kink the top tube." Worst bike design trend for years, even ahead of headset routed cables.

Tech Randoms II: Les Gets XC World Cup 2025
@Ososmash: um.... no. If you are talking about the black parts above the shock under the top tube it quite clearly states in the caption that the bike uses a sliding rail system rather than links and pivots. What you are looking at is the sliding rail that the upper part of the rear triangle and the rear half of the shock slides along.

Pinkbike Poll: Is Your Bike Heavier Or Lighter Than When You Bought It?
Most bikes in the UK at least are sold without pedals. As soon as the buyer fits pedals the bike gets heavier.
