I highly recommend getting the Wolftooth ones instead of BMX grips. Slip on grips will run you about half the price, lock ons will be the same price as the bar ends. They are a rubberized plastic and don't feel too hard against your hands, and you don't feel a seam between the grips. Flanged grips cannot withstand the level of force and provide the level of stiffness that the proper barends have, and will give you a false impression of how real ones behave. I think it's worth the $35, and if you don't like it, it's only $35.

I’ve been on board with this since the second that it was announced. Money in riders’s pockets is how it should be. Field looks stacked 🔥. Take my 💰

Remember the show Iron Chef, where the chefs had 60 minutes to whip something up and whatever didn't come out just right had to be served anyway? The food was usually pretty good, but the presentation sometimes missed the mark. That's how some of my writing is (at best) going to go in the coming months (or even years). My life has changed immensely over the last 12 months, and the time I have for side quests is now significantly limited. When I say I have an hour to do something, that's probably all I have. Much of my Substack...

Hey... still one there, even if it's late... 😄 Hi, I'm Ingo, the CEO... welcome folks! Happy to answer your questions... 😉 Regarding your question about servicable caliper pistons: We only offer the piston of the lever as spare part, but not the pistons of the caliper. This has a simple reason: These are VERY tricky to install and without special machines (which we use in our production line) it is very easy to damage the sealings / quad rings during assembly. You know we do have a mono-block caliper, which means you have to install the quad rings and...

Our model is built around a roughly 30 rider structure for many reasons, including; Prize money: in year one we need to be conservative and ensure our prize money is impactful. If we spread it to thin it obviously dilutes this, Course: you can’t keep a course in top condition with too many riders. Course safety: while we are providing some easier options on big features, this course is still absolutely insane. It is challenging enough managing rider safety on a course with so many big features with 30 riders. This course would never work for a large rider field...
