Am I the only one looking at the Sheep Methane picture and thinking why is a sheep stuck in a washing machine. Isn't there a risk of it gassing itself if not suffocating?

I dunno. Does it matter if grips are £20 or £35? It's a critical contact point, so it's worth getting it right. A little bit of me would like there to be a £60 option 😉

Would £99.95 do the trick?

I desperately wanted one of those Whytes. Then I got to testride one at fort william and it was kind of rubbish. Never meet your heroes...

Having you ordered the big bird yet?

Does no-one cast an eye over this stuff before it is published?  That should say 'Have ewe ordered the big bird yet?'

for a consumable part a near doubling of price over multitude of <£20 options… then yeah I think it makes a difference. If they were significantly better then I’d spend it but having not tried them or read any reviews I’ll stick with other options for now.

SES info is a mile out... think that was 2025 dates and venue perhaps.??

Also I have a deep appreciation for Renthal's heroic sticking to that disgusting colour that they only landed on bitd because it was the best option for hard anodising motorbike chainrings 20+ years ago. I think they've finally binned it for the carbon bars though?

Yeah I'm also not a fan of Renthal's 'racing beige' colour. Would it kill them to offer some brighter options?

At least the new black ones look better without the red and white logo.
