The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Which Saddles Pinkbike's Editors Put on Their Own Bikes
I haven't used an adult diaper on a bike in years whether it's a 2hr or 12hr ride. The key is finding a saddle or two that fits your butt. I'm a lot more comfortable now than I ever was in my chamois decade+.

Review: Vittoria's 50g Air-Liner Light Promises Run-Flat Protection For XC & Trail
No. I have run Tannus Tubeless inserts in the rear of my HTs with Stans for a few years now and no issues with sealant drying out early.

How Much Do Professional Mountain Bikers Get Paid? - Pinkbike's State of the Sport Survey
Sure there is. Contact the brand of bike you ride and ask them if they pay men and women employees/racers the same. Let them know you care about that and it will factor into your purchasing decisions.

Jan 6, 2023RSD Middlechild - Small
$600 CADI'm selling my GF's 2019 RSD Middlechild hardtail frame - size small. She's 120lbs and rode this bike during the winters so not high mileage and no serious crashes/abuse. The frame has some normal marks from trail riding, but no damage. It was well maintained and stored inside. Marks under downtube are from a frame bag and are on top of the protective tape there which can be removed if desired.
She really enjoyed the way this frame rode. It's a great machine for Coastal BC trails. The geometry is aggressive enough to ride everything we have access to without being too much for cruising easier trails. Also versatile for bikepacking.
The steel frame has sliders for singlespeeding and adjusting CS length. It will fit 27 x 2.8" tire or 29 x 2.6" tires. She ran it with a 140mm 29er fork and 27 x 2.8" tires.
She is 5'6" and the bike fit her well. It would work for someone a bit taller or a bit shorter.
Buying a new RSD frame would be ~$1100 with taxes and shipping. She's selling this frame for $600CAD firm. Shipped in Canada for $75.
You are buying a frame plus seatpost collar and rear thru-axle.

100%. I mean that's why men are so poorly represented in the sport. If you want to see any men on the trails you need to show them some respect and support.
