The market has heard and what you all want (or at least what Pinkbike editors want) is shoes that grip. GRIPPY. so as a result the flat pedal shoes I’ve owned feel like they are nailed to the pedals. Any position adjustment at all requires lifting your foot off the pedal and placing it again - rinse repeat until acceptable. and I get it - the people slash Pinkbike editors who want grippy shoes are hella steez and need to be nailed to their bike but would never dream of riding clipless... Flat pedal shoes that aren’t quite so grippy but still kinda grippy

New to the site so wasn't sure where else to post this. Was at Whistler where I got into a nasty crash. I was okay but my bike didn't end up so well: The compression dial on my fork flew off, the bleed port screw on my brake lever flew off, and my derailleur completley ripped in half (at the spring part of the screw, strange as it didn't come off at the derailleur hanger). There was also an issue with the tire where one of the beads broke, considering so much broke on it I am just curious... Fixing Bike Post Crash?

As I've worked my way through a lot of fat bikes, I've come to enjoy the more progressive geometry versions. I see the Blizzard no longer shows up on Rocky Mountains website, Wyatt shows they are no longer accepting new orders, pickins are starting to get slim. Anyone heard if the Blizz will come back or if Wyatt is on the ropes?

I spotted something unexpected today, and data acquisition put some numbers behind it. It even generated some pretty graphs, but they're on my PC,so I've asked Vlod to try and replicate the damping curves. I've got a couple of 27.5 wheels. 1 has Spank Hex hub with 120 points of engagement (and it is purple ) 1 has the E13 Sidekick hub set to 12 degs wit a 40t ratchet. Due to E13 quality control and 'customer support' the E13 wheel has been in bits for months. In this time I've got... Hub engagement suspension interaction

Suppose you have talked someone into trying mountain biking. They are an adult and know how to ride a bicycle on the street or bike path and are ready to try some light / novice trail riding. What are the most important things you teach, show or advise them on?
