Have you solved a 1st world problem? Does it have the vaguest of links to bikes? If so, why not send us your video solution (keep it under 30 seconds so that teenagers don’t lose interest) and we may feature your solution. If we do we’ll send you a t-shirt too. Don’t send us the actual clip. Upload it to Vimeo or Youtube and send us the link to newsdesk@singletrackworld.com
Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
Does it work with 1x…?
If the ring is small enough 🙂
The officially recognised tool for bottle opening is the SPD pedal. Happy to help. You’ll see what I mean.
more of this please
Or just use the bottle open built into the rear brake mount on my cove.
I suspect that area of my bike is far too dirty to do this.
The first picture contains terrible ‘catalogue pose acting….
Is that a Rochefort 10 in first picture? If so, I can forgive the catalogue poses 🙂
Just have a bottle opener on your keyring
Who’s ever heard of a workshop without a bottle opener?
That’s just weird.
If it had pedals on it you wouldn’t need the bike suspending in the air. SPDs are pretty much bottle openers you can clip into
That bike has flats on it now 🙂
Whatever pedals it has it’s always going to have chainrings
I’m really liking the second one!
