I agree about resin, I run oneup's on my bikes.  I did toy with drilling the stock pedals and putting pins in too, but didn't.  The pins are key.  You can washer the Chromag pins to determine how much pins shows. I've already increased the pin height.  More grip the better it seems, just need to keep the kid in trousers to slow down his shins looking like his dad's too quick!

Pedals are the key to learning and enjoying riding for the little people.  My boy's Commencal Ramones 14" has great kit and good geo, but the pedals were like bars of soap and led to a lot of frustration.  I looked and looked, but the only 'real' options were Chromag and Hope.   Chromag won.  Lots of money, but he will have them until he is ten (he's three now).   Crazy purchase but worth it.

Vik, that opinion is too Fox news vs CNN.  Mainstream culture means to like one thing, you've got to hate another.  Look at Trump and Brexit.  We don't need that in MTB.  I don't see a problem with hearing about a bit of everything.

I changed the (drum) brake pads in my VW beetle about thirty years ago, just before driving 300 miles to London to see Prince (RIP you purple poet), only to get about ten miles from in to the journey and find they didn't work; I clipped a car and rolled down the middle of the road trying to stop, passing a police car in the queue of traffic.  Police didn't care, nor did the other driver (quite chilled in Cornwall).  Carried on to London.  Just looked a long way ahead.  Use that same skill on my bike now.

I wouldn’t buy a mag that the current iteration of Dirt produced. I find their content and reviews tedious. They would have to un plug Steve Jones from EMBN first, but he seems pretty happy there.

I haven’t done this, but couldn’t you chuck some stan’s in to the tube as well?  Got to help?

I'm gonna buy a 58er tube and sleeve it to 29 and get double tube protection.  Then I won't need to carry a spare.

Aw really, and if the rules were tighter, such as age limit and deeper background checks, the Florida shooter wouldn’t have slipped through the net. It is really simple.

I'm glad MTB isn't as popular as Road biking. The upsurge in that sport in the UK and the TV exposure since Wiggins won the TDF, has meant a lot of none bikers are now dressing in Team Sky lycra and pisssing everyone off on the roads. The fact our sport does only have web coverage is great. If that is supplied by Red Bull even better. Their dedication to 'marginal' sports (as well as some very popular ones) is amazing and I'm sure some other big corporates would love to get their foot in the door. But I doubt any other's efforts could match Red Bull's FREE broadcasts. Red Bull can have all my eggs and my chicken if they like.
