I love riding/racing bikes across disciplines from burly lines to bumping shoulders on a velodrome.
A lot of years turning wrenches at shops means I'm all about function and performance, not so much about flash.
Except I'm old enough to have a soft spot for purple anodizing.

Pinkbike Poll: How Big Are Your Favourite Flat Pedals?
Deftraps. Truly concave. Big enough to grip a big shoe, small enough to fit a smaller one. Cheap enough-so splurge and color match the bike. Strong enough to ride park.

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch
@Mtbdialed: If you can't wrangle the bead over the rim, time to switch tires (or rims). Even a Cushcore mount shouldn't be super hard-even though it does take a little longer.

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch
Kinda draggy, but it IS the setup I have on the big bike now. And aside from rolling resistance, it does work everywhere.

Several years per tire=doesn't ride much.

Review: Michelin Performance Tires - Fast Rolling & Long-Lasting, But There's a Catch
@superfrodaddy: What mechanically incompetent boobs downvoted this comment?! Most tires these days do pop onto the bead without too much fuss (valve core out and a compressor). For the ones that don't, a tube in for a few hours sure does do the trick.

So these are pretty good, but Specialized tires are cheaper AND better across the board. Got it.

Intend Releases Elevator Dropper Seat Post
I'd actually say that's the popular opinion. No reason to buy anything fancier than a Lev Integra, OneUp, or PNW post. And by no reason, I mean weight, stack height, finish quality etc.

Peaty's Expands Product Line to Include New Serviceable 'Monarch' Saddle That Features a Handle
@ratedgg13: Yep-might be made by Velo, but Fabric pioneered the co-molded seamless design. I'll bet it's Fabric foam too-it's squishier than other similar shaped saddles I've used.

Injuries Suck, But They're Part of Mountain Biking
This is the line we all walk if we want to keep mountain biking. Sometimes it's fun to go full gas, but that's the danger zone.

Review: The Outlier Metronome Self-Leveling Flat Pedal is Superior, & Frustrating
@R-M-R: I get that, but if you're already making a funky non-standard pedal that only bike nerds will buy, go all in and do it right. This isn't going to be anyone's first or third or fifth set of pedals.
