First Look: Delium Launches Four Affordable Tires
I retract my enthusiasm. I clicked the link, added a set of tires, and went to check out. They make you create an account to complete the purchase (no option for guest checkout). Maybe that's a non-issue to some, but that drives me nuts. I'm not joining your stupid club just to buy some bicycle tires. I'm out. And your tires are stupid.

First Look: Delium Launches Four Affordable Tires
Between life, kids, and other hobbies, I don't have time to become an expert on all things mountain biking. This became somewhat evident a month ago when I needed new tires for my enduro bike. The Maxxis lineup was overwhelming. I don't need that much choice in an attempt to eke out that last bit of performance.
These prices are great, but the simplicity of their product lineup is what thrills me. A quick read, and I know exactly what tire to buy. They don't even give me width options. Perfect.

Review: WTB's New CZR i30 Carbon Wheels
Do all carbon wheel sets come with a lifetime warranty? If not, a warranty column should be added to the comparison table.

Bike Check: Nadir Colledani's Custom Olympic MMR Kenta
What are the 3 hoses/cables coming from the left side of the handlebar? I know one is the brake, but what are the others?

11 Retro Downhill Bikes From the South Australian State Downhill Championships
I've provided overly nice bikes to my kids, and they realize how fortunate they are. My 14yo son has a nice carbon enduro bike, and he was mentioning last week how lucky he is to have never had to deal with a crappy bike. I then explained to him that yes, that's true, but he's missing out on the joy of "moving up".
I told him the story of my first bike which was a 1995 Raleigh M-50 that I bought brand new in college. I told him that it didn't even have a suspension fork. He couldn't believe it. He didn't even know that was a thing. They I went through the upgrades, the next bike, the bike after that... I told him how awesome it was the first time I got a full squish.
It's great to have today's tech, and in my son's case, really nice stuff. However, the fun of moving up (financially and technology wise) has also been pretty cool.

Wike Premium Double Trailer
$200 USDI've had this trailer for a few years, but the kids are now too big. This is a fantastic trailer, much better than anything I could find at any of my local shops. It's very quick to collapse, expand, or switch between stroller and trailer. It includes both a rain shield and a bug net for the little ones. It also has a large storage area that is protected from the weather. We used this as much for going to the zoo as we did behind the bikes. It's very versatile.
Video of how quickly it collapses for storage or transporting:

Details from manufacturer's website. What I'm selling is the stroller ($499) plus the optional jogging kit ($100).
