Welcome to the official start of your weekend. This week’s Bikerumor Friday Yard Sale is our first sponsored episode, in which you can win free socks from Defeet! Details are in the video, along with a quick run down of new tech from Frostbike, our favorite things from NAHBS 2018, a little more info on the Defeet’s Barnstormer gravel bike party in May (plus an early look at a couple new styles they’re launching on March 1), a personal invite to Saturday’s 2018 celebration of Watts bar crawl ride (participate at your own risk, not officially endorsed by Bikerumor), first rides on a new saddle prototype from 3 West Design, and the usual silliness. This week we’re back in Watt’s shop, but we threw in bonus pics and overlays to keep it entertaining. Because that’s how we roll.

You guys are awesome. If only I could make it “a personal invite to Saturday’s 2018 celebration of Watts bar crawl ride (participate at your own risk, not officially endorsed by Bikerumor)”

I really enjoy this relaxed BikeRumor format. Its informative, funny and a nice change from the typical stuffy review!

Another fun episode despite you guys selling out which seems all too prescient after watching the Pitchfork spiel on Fugazi’s “In on the Kill Taker”. Next you can interview me (I’m sure you’ll be waiting with bated breath) since I’ll be up there on Friday afternoon.

Hey guys! Point of clarification here: Problem Solvers is–and always has been–a brand owned by QBP. We started–as most things did back then–with a group of products that needed a brand. Those adapters for Suntour New Winner freewheels and Travel Agent brake-cable-pull-modifiers got put in the aptly named Problem Solvers brand.
