Pinkbike Poll: Riser Bar or Extra Spacers Under the Stem?
Bikes come with the steerers cut way too short, and a tall rise bar is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new upper for the fork, so...
Also, most bikes still have super low stack heights, so I tend to start by installing a 35-40mm rise bar and then once I realize that's not enough I get a new fork so I can run 20-30mm of spacers under the stem.

TRP Cycling Releases New S05E Race Rotor
For real. The inclusion of the 203mm size drives the need for so many additional adapter options.

First Look: Fair Bicycle's Drop Best Offset Saddle Clamp is Universally Compatible
@wilflucky: if you push straight down rather than in line with the seat tube, pushing on the front will produce less friction (you get the least friction by pushing towards the bushings)

Review: Whyte Elyte 150 Works - 'One of the Best Handling E-Bikes'
I must say, I live somewhere with lots of big, jagged rocks, but I never understood why Pivot's BB heights were so tall until I rode around Phoenix. Your trails are definitely an edge case.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Need Downtube Storage?
Put a top tube bag on the Spur (look at the Apidura Backcountry 1L rear). Use that for daily items like snacks and a layer. Use the tool mount for a tube/CO2/multi tool. Use the bottle bosses under the down tube to mount something like a Specialized keg for the rarely needed items (first aid, derailleur hanger, etc).

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Need Downtube Storage?
It could be a nice feature if implemented well. The design on the Rallon is garbage.

How much trail should our new bike have?
Idk... -500mm?
Sounds like a death trap. I like it.

Vittoria Releases Completely Redesigned Air-Liner Tire Inserts
If I'm running inserts, I want to be able to ride out on them simply because removing the insert to install a tube and then having to carry out the sealant covered insert sucks.
The run flat capability isn't really a reason for me to chose inserts over heavier tires, though.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Value Product of the Year Winner
Has anyone else had mixed experiences? I've had a few of the Ground Control T7 Grid, and they have been faultless. Good grip considering how fast they roll, they wear super slow, and I haven't managed to puncture or tear them.
Then tried an Eliminator Grid Trail T7, and the cornering knobs were ripping clean off of the casing after a handful of rides. I sent pictures to Specialized asking for a replacement and they told me they were too worn and needed replaced (after less than 100 miles and barely any actual wear).
