Review: Race Face's Era Chainring Uses Steel, Carbon, & Aluminum
@suspended-flesh: Only plastic recycling is a sham. Because only small fraction of all plastics can be recycled and even for those making new virgin plastic is way cheaper and results in higher quality products. For a lot of other recyclable stuff it's opposite: making new virgin metals is much more costly compared to recycling. For some stuff, like low-background steel, it's even impossible to produce new material anymore and recycling is the only source.

Social Round Up: Snow Bike World Championships 2024
Yeah, it's painful to watch. But I have new idea for UCI: river biking. Imagine something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQJsQPKLurU but on downhill bikes! This surely will be a blast!

Review: Shimano XT Linkglide - Here For a Good Time AND a Long Time
@pnyberg: almost every product you can buy have some amount of child/slave labor in it. Even rubber in our tires most probably was cultivated with forced child labor: https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ilab/reports/child-labor/list-of-goods-print

@jeremy3220: roads, sidewalks and grid are built by paid workers. So yes, he helped to build them by paying his taxes. Most trails are built by volunteers for free.

1 bar is roughly atmospheric pressure. Very nice and intuitive unit.

Round-Up: 21 Of the Best Mountain Bike Helmets for 2021
Amazing how a lot of helmet brands doesn't care to teach their ad models to correctly tighten helmet straps. https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/20687714/ https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/20715981/ https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/20689384/
Wearing helmet this way is useless. No matter how much it cost or what kind of Rotational Impact Protection System it have.

SRAM Produces Generative Design Prototype Cranks in Partnership with Autodesk
@TannerValhouli: why does it need to be carbon fiber? Simple plastic sheath will be lighter and cheaper and still will keep mud out.
