Disc brakes are dead

Kinda looks like Rim Brakes Are Dead though...

The Sexiest AM/FR/Enduro Hardtail Thread

Consulting pinkbike for anything is like Googling illness symptoms. No.

I'll give you that, it's teeming with idiotic Americans in fairness. There's great content in that thread though.

My experience with Pinkbike over the years has been the monster chugging, testosterone fueled bro brigade of gnarliness circle jerking over slow mo red bull Rampage footage whilst planning their Whistler pilgrimage and how they'll shred and own the place and conquer all those lesser mortals that cant 'unleash'.

Reality is as you would expect.
STW is significantly better but still a bit like an echo chamber really.

STW is just as bad as Pinkbike. Middle-aged middle-managing moaning armchair engineers

Who would you rather argue with till Godwin's law kicks in?

At least with Pinkbike there's the comforting knowledge you don't share a country with the moron majority

Thank you Atlantic Ocean.

Also STW is far far worse than PB. The gun-toting, republican, cousin marrying wankers on PB are more to be pitied than despised.

Yawn!

What’s the route to Peaslake that’s 80% off-road? Would be very interested in that.

Richmond -> Hampton Court -> bunch of parks / woods / bridleways -> Dorking - > Ranmore -> Abinger Hammer -> Holmbury YHA -> BKB - > Peaslake

It’s a big day out if you do there and back + a bunch of trails around Peaslake and Leath

Don’t suppose you’ve got a Strava route if it or anything? Quite fancy CXing it to Peaslake Stores for some cake.

Probably more appropriate here than the photography thread.

Disc brakes are rad?

Ryan Reynolds?

If the cave were a burning porche, I see what you mean...

found your new bike - a £4000 non-folding e-Brompton with a "heavy...stiff, harsh ride"

yeah Small wheels with 140kg across three humans on them will be stiff given the pressure you’d need in the tyres

4.5 star tho

I want one

ideal #dadlife machine
i wouldn't mind one of these

Damn right. Might go in our downstairs cupboard....

Ultimate #dadlife machine is my mates Larry Vs. Harry eBullitt with an 80nm motor and XT 4-pot callipers. It's awfully good fun to ride and super quick!

complete w/ discontinued rim brakes!

Would love to have that in my bike shed. Lovely.
