Opinion: Five Things The Bike Industry Could Do Better
@moabenchilada: Soon Oral Surgeons won't be buying Wakeboard/Waterski boats. They'll have to switch to mountain biking.

Spotted: SRAM Prototype E-Bike Motor
@MRwillP: When brute power is more important than reliability, I guess. I've been looking for a decent FJ40 or first generation 4Runner for a while. A LOT of them have Chevy 350s in them now instead of the Toyota I-6 or I-4 motors they got from the factory.

Opinion: You Should Be Fixing Your Own Bike
@Sambikes11: It was this part from Rockshox lower leg service video: https://youtu.be/q71iSEEuiw0?t=137
The tech in this video was way rougher than I thought I was being. They make it look so easy! Just a couple quick taps!

Opinion: You Should Be Fixing Your Own Bike
First (and only) time I tried to do a routine service on my fork I watched multiple youtube tutorials and read several articles. One of the first instructions was to give a part a smack with a rubber mallet, one guy in a video used a short piece of a 2x4. I gave it a light tap, probably not hard enough to unseat it but I wanted to be careful.... broke it...
Part of me thinks a Pro would have had the same problem, but then it would have been their problem and they have the tools, experience, and access to parts to fix it. I do most of my own service, but only jobs I know I can handle with the parts and tools I have on hand if something goes wrong.

Another Spectator has Caused a Crash in a Major Road Race
Have a pair of motorcycles ride on the edges about 10 seconds ahead of the riders?

Opinion: Which MTB Innovations Do We Actually Need?
@bohns1: Ten years ago when I was 26 and had time to ride 3hrs 2-3x per week I hated the idea of an eBike. Now... ten years older and I'm lucky if I can ride twice per month... I haven't bought one, but I get it.

Two Unique & Very Expensive Balance Bikes for Little Shredders
Agreed. Or they could donate Strider bikes for kids who wouldn't ever get one.

Review: Supersapiens Constant Glucose Monitor
@usedbikestuff: I could see it being adapted for weight loss, and a lot of people would pay $150/month to drop some lbs/kgs.
