Updated: Kate Courtney Announces Broken Arm Following Nove Mesto XC World Cup Crash

Wasn't this the exact same place where Schurter also fell during the race?

Round 2 Voting Closed: 2020 Pinkbike Photo of the Year Contest

I just don't get what happened in Match Up 16... One of the most creative photos in last few years of the contest loses by a big margin to one of the most generic photos. And I'm saying this being a great fan of Sterling's work over the previous years.

Throwback Thursday: Jared Graves' World Champs Medal on an Enduro Bike

Of course we don't need "all what being churned out by the industry". But it's not like everything new they bring to the market is to "make money", "nothing new", "marketing bullshit" etc. Products constantly develop and become better and better. The fact we don't really need them doesn't mean they don't work better and aren't nicer to use.

Randoms Round II - Eurobike Media Days 2019

@ninjatarian: Thing is they're not so very formed. They used tubes with round or almost round cross section with a few bends which is cost effective and simpler to manufacture. That's the main goal with the Nerd if I read it right. Look at some other aluminium frames around. Commencal or Canyon for example have frames with a bit more complex shapes.

5 Surprisingly Nice Catalogue Frames - Taipei Cycle Show 2018

"...claims to always surpass the ISO safety standards for bicycles by 20%" - this still is not something I would be proud of. Looking into ISO bike standards myself as an engineer - they are more like a lower limits to make a bike that is safely rideable. They certainly are NOT sufficient standards for a mountain bike for hard ripping. Companies have their own standards for something like this. At least twice or more of what ISO standards say would be nice - at least as I recall them and without any calculations.

An Air-Pressurized Frame For Adventure Bikes? - Eurobike 2018

No one yet? Allright - I think I could use this "USD charging port top cap". Seems like a great idea :D I just wonder how fast would it charge my wallet :D

Yep, Here's Your 13-Speed Drivetrain - Eurobike 2018

Wow, so pointless. Just imagine how much of time, effort and money they waisted on a group that 99% of riders won't ever even see...
