quotes Yes, a rotating bash guard...because that's how all bash guards bolted to a crank work. Shimano cut the excess that doesn't do anything off. And if you bolt one to the other side of the crank, full bash protection with either foot forward and lighter weight.

quotes These don't look like they are aimed at the competitive racing market. These look more like they are meant to be abused. Also, that sticker saying non-rideable...it's probably an engineering sample that they can throw into stress tests. Most likely perfectly rideable, just not tested yet.

quotes That defeats the purpose of protecting the carbon from damage. Plastic cheaper, and it's more resilient to impact damage and scraping.

quotes there are also open source alternatives like Inkscape, you guys. no need to openly proclaim doing something illegal *ahemscottmillphotography*

quotes I liked DexterH's explanation, but charvey9, thinner pedals won't give you a longer pedal stroke. you could have a pedal a foot tall and the platform would still spin around in a 340mm diameter circle (with 170mm cranks). it would just be incredibly unstable.

quotes Am I the only one who has a problem with this guy's writing skill? I know we're on the internet but that should be no excuse for a product review article. Proper grammar helps readers read a story. It looks like he banged this out in 15 minutes without even proofreading it. Back to the brace, yeah it's nice but not something to spend $600 on. The Ride should be good enough. I have the EVS brace similar to the Leatt braces. It fits well both when riding my moto and my pedal bike, it wasn't more than $200, and fits with my chest protector.

quotes I'm thankful that I've been able to keep a clear and level head, my family who still loves me and supports me no matter what, the education they're helping me receive, my bike that i worked hard for that helps me keep my sanity when school gets crazy, my friends, my country and those protecting it, Canada for being so ****ing awesome, and all the great people in the sport of mountain biking.
