Be warned: this edition of FGF mostly contains things that are not cheap. Yes, even more than usual.

"How many linkages and bearings for this to work well?"

"Yes"

18% off Exposure lights? Is there any restrictions or catches to that? If I'm thinking of buying one anyway, buying a membership becomes free and I still save money on the lights

My mate has still got a 111 Process languishing in his garage from the same year . Because it's him it was the top of the range and it's wasting away hasn't been ridden since he bought an EBike 5 years ago 😔. I wanted to give it a new lease of life but as much as I tried to make it fit it's a medium and too small for me 😔
Great bike such a waste 🙄

Also I know Atherton make 3D printed Ti lugs the Method has 3D printed chainstays ( I think) probably a daft question how do you print Titanium? and if it cuts down on cost why is that fram £4K ?
I've had Ti hardtail for 20 odd years and thought it was notoriously difficult to work with?

A £200 bum bag. Can’t see the value myself.

Drove through Kirkby Lonsdale the other week on the way to Settle - the road is lined with dozens of Conker Trees which cheered me up no end.

70 quid for a mud spike doesn't seem too bad, I'd love to see an impartial tyre shootout in time for winter.

MTB'ing by its very nature is a wet/mucky/muddy/loamy sport, at least in the UK, and riding across the farm fields around where I live a sh*tty sport as well given the sheep/cows/horses that frequent said fields. So why do water bottle manufactures aimed at the MTB market continue to make/sell bottles without a cover over the bit you drink from? Makes no sense to me. I know the covers break eventually, but surely that's a business opportunity to sell spare ones!
£200 for a bum bag and an extra £33 for a water bottle holder (you don't even get a water bottle!!), there's a company that won't be around next year.
Loads of conkers around, like every other fruit producing tree they are laden with goodies even after the super dry spring/summer that we have had.

Lazors! They literally take titanium dust and melt it with lasers to make the structure, it is awesome. Comparing with the 3d printing you might be more used to it's more like a resin printer than an FDM/filament printer.

When they say "cuts down on cost" I think they basically mean "compared to machining ti from billet", it's still an expensive process. And the machines are super expensive.
