Pinkbike Poll: Do You Care What Your Bike Looks Like?
Luckily for me, I tend to like utilitarian-looking beasts. IMO my Nicolai G1 is the coolest looking bike I've ever owned. That Gamux is dang cool; I would love to have one and I actually enjoy the looks.

Wolf Tooth Introduces New Performance Series Pedals
I was pondering this myself the other day, comparing the Tmacs to the Deftrap. I think I like the Deftraps better, but the smaller, sharper (but still threaded) pins feel different. I think they bite really nicely into the sole of the shoe, but the greater contact area from the thicker pins may offer a little more grip? Or maybe it's more perceived grip because there's higher friction in various planes of movement? I haven't quite worked it out.

Review: The Forbidden Reya Throws Conventional XC Geometry Out the Window
The phantom has become my favorite bike. I am running it 27.5 as a singlespeed right now. It rides great full 29 and as a mullet as well.

Canfield Lithium V3 Review: Long Travel Without the Lethargy
Y'all gotta try a fanny pack. The Thule Rail is my tried and true. I throw a bottle in it when I ride my bottle-cage-less G1, and use it for an extra bottle (or two) even when I am riding my bikes with bottle cages.

Paragon Machine Works is Closing up Shop - A Great Loss for People Who Make Bikes
We are certainly screwed here in the US. It has been a long time brewing (this is decades of terrible policy and the two recent administrations have poured gas on the fire in different ways - we don't have to get into it here.) But c'mon buddy, Canada is in terrible shape. You have to admit you guys are and have been in a seriously bad place. If you can't, I just assume you're a partisan who's been brainwashed by the onslaught of propaganda.
The west has built a house of cards and it doesn't look good. Attempts to lay this all at the feet of one boogeyman is just silly. This stuff is much deeper.

Inside Funn’s Angular Engagement System (AES) Pedal Tech
@mountaindoctor: I still have mine and use them. They have lasted me 13 or 14 years I think. They have been used and abused and are still running strong.
