At What Point Does Mountain Biking Go From Inspiring to Unrelatable?
To me, as a not too far off 50 year old bloke in much less than perfect health who's still progressing and starting to hit 50ft jumps it feels entirely relatable that pro's who are 20-30 years younger than me are hitting 100ft jumps.

Video: Tomas Lemoine Drops New Song "I Just Want To Ride My Bike" In Ambition
Not sure why because it doesn't really sound anything like it - but my brain associates this music with the party boy music from jackass. Now I have some terrible images in my mind!

@matt92037: me too. I had the 1993 blue and pink one, fully rigid. I put some mag10's on it. Loved that thing!

Peaty's Releases New Monarch Pro Dual Compound Grips
Another new grip. Another grip that's not long enough for my hands. Why do they make them so short?!?!!! They go to the effort of mak8ng different diameters, why not different length as well?

Specialized Launches Radial Tire Lineup
For me, the one tyre that would really benefit from radial casings is the Hillbilly - a tyre you use when conditionsare fould and you want a more compliant tyre.... and it seems they're not making those. So I'm out, for now at least.

Ergon Expands GDH Grips Into 3 Sizes and 7 Colors
Everytime I see new grips released I get excited.... then realise they still don't care about making them longer, just fatter.
Come on Manufacturers, lets have some more longer grips please!

Lewis LHP+ U4 Brake Review: All Bark, No Bite?
@tacklingdummy77: those are probably the last brakes I would have bought if I actually wanted the bike to stop! Probably fine on an XC bike, but definitely not good enough for D.H or enduro.

How Do MTB Suspension Brands Actually Calculate Your Suggested Settings?
The settings on my Ohlins were definitely picked out of a hat. A hat designed for people 20kg lighter or a shit tonne slower than me too. And I ain't heavy or fast, just average in both departments.
