Its stupid anyway - The aggressor always feels like they were doing nothing wrong anyway - Not like a lecture will change their mind.

'Oh sorry I didn't realise you telling me to go away meant you wanted me to go away"

That won't fix shit. They need a proper ethics and conduct committe and clean house, ie withdraw pre-selection and report offenders to police.

I was hoping it was Penguin books so we'd get some cool illustrations to go with the writeups..

Not that I'm a massive Pinkbike fan, but with the demise of content on Outside in the past couple of years I don't hold much hope for its future.

Editor Brian Park claims "it will take PB to the next level". Usually translates to payout for founders and paywall to pay for the pay out. Doesn't usually result in improved product. No real loss for me as I really only look at the Buy and Sell.

LTIAA (Little-Thing-I'm-Ambivilent-About) - I ordered a new steerer nut/top cap kit from OneUp (international) on May 28th, and it's still "In Transit". I only ordered it for some red-anno matchy-matchy, so not actually "required" as such, but:

LTIH - sending me an e-mail requesting a review. F-off you chunts and stop reminding me how shit your freight is!

When I ordered from one up pre-covid the postage was possibly the slowest I've ever experienced. Nice product though.

LTIH. Sometimes, just sometimes I feel sorry for @moorey

Had a blow out... chonk is settling in nicely with the combination of shite weather ( = lack of commuting/ trail time) and lockdown beverages.



Oh well, might have a beer to send them off.

5 minute job to stitch that buckle back down @nzhumpy! Get some nylon thread and keep 'em going.

Not a bad plan, the boys at work have an over-locker with some heavy duty sail thread- I might chuck them a 5 pack tomorrow to get them sorted.

Looks like he is going to want some high breaking strain braid...


I feel you humpy! No idea where mine came from...just boom! Suddenly I'm a little squishy.

I haven't indulged in much pink bike since the original crew were pumping out their short riding edits to promote the site.

Late? Loudly? Fuck...or isn't even midnight! I'm loud and I haven't even got any ice. But I did also just get home.

It’s late when you keep normal hours… Do you have bad heavy metal going when you know your neighbours are trying to sleep?

Depends if the neighbour is you.

Lo and behold, the first drop of spam in my inbox this morning from the Outside Group, I imagine this drop will soon turn into an avalanche...unsubscribe.

Used Transdirect to get the Nic frame down to me from the distro in Qld. Have used them before, pretty easy to deal with and rates are decent for quality carriers. Anyway, nominate a commercial pickup, but now a week later they've sent me an invoice for a $95 surcharge because the "carrier deemed the pickup address was residential not commercial".

Okay, sent them the invoice and website as evidence that the address is the registered business address of the distro and therefore a commercial pickup.

"Oh no, you need to provide evidence that it is commercial zoned".

Get fucked.
