Bike blerg thread

There’s Freehub Magazine out of Bellingham that is MTB-centric. I think their print mag is glossy.

In. I wrote that at first but deleted it. I’ve been sitting on the idea for a photo zine for a while but didn’t want to post about doing it the same day Pears posts about doing one.

Feel like I do need a project. I’ve made some pretty shit zines in my day…probably due time to make something decent. I mean nothing too tasteful tho.

I don’t know if I’d call it a scientific method, but I don’t disagree with any of this (didn’t read any further than this)

His hypothesis is usually sound. It’s a shame he can’t resist cherry picking data to hock his above average tires along the way.

especially to brag that a generic chinese made WTB tire is 2% slower than the extralight runny arse in a brutal 400W effort

Both times I have ridden my runny arse liteweight 35 mm tires on my Hawkes Bay new years holidays I have punctured. Gravel is way to fat for them. At least I hadnt forgotten my pump this time. Was very embarrassing last time to call the waaaambulance. Next time I will run turdly panaracers like my host.

Yeah I won’t ever spend money on runny arse tires again. too expensive and I can’t feel any difference between them and WTB horizons (unless you include the process of mounting them and getting them to seal, in which the WTB tires are a 1,000x better experience)

One of the nerds at the shop got them. It’s glossy. A smaller yet bigger BQ.

It turns out Freehub also does a free zine called Craft.
