I started digging a bit on the possible cause, and found this:

See that "clientHold" status? Let's find out what it means:

seems like they either switched hosting and it didn't go too well, or they have a legal dispute about the domain.

Seems up to me

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Hacked?

 

[vivisectxi]

Been down since last night. Interesting.

 

[slimshady]

Could somebody who can actually connect grab the IP address for me?

(open a command prompt in Windows, and run "nslookup www.pinkbike.com"

This kinda cements the hypothesis of them switching hostings, and a screwed up DNS domain transfer.

$ nslookup www.pinkbike.com

working for me, unfortunately. outside can fuck right off.

 

[Bikael Molton]

Website being offline for 18+ hours seems bad.

 

[SylentK]

Yeah, thought it was just me.

This site can’t be reached
www.pinkbike.com took too long to respond

If it's not HTTPS, don't navigate to it.

 

[jonKranked]

If it's not HTTPS, don't navigate to it.

 

[SkaredShtles]

Heh:

PS C:\> nslookup pinkbike.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1

*** UnKnown can't find pinkbike.com: Non-existent domain

 

[StiHacka]

No issues here.
Also, disappointed there doesn't exist an auto-rickroll site with a static IP address on the webz.

 

[slimshady]

$ nslookup www.pinkbike.com

Hmm, seems like your ISP's caching DNS server doesn't serve cached content outside of its network:

For the most part, it looks like the average US-based can resolve the IP address (due to DNS cache not expiring) while the rest of the world aren't able to do it.

oh great. and my other go-to mountain bike site is featuring a story on gravel riding today.

I needed another dose on "how to ride your bike."

Oh wait, maybe that's GMBN.

 

[boostindoubles]

The buy n sell will be missed.

 

[SuspectDevice]

Yes, but it’s BC gravel, bro!

What site's that?

 

[Gary]

Pinkbike loads fine here BTW

 

[Gary]

O chain now has "buttercups" you're not missing anything

 

[slimshady]

Well, it started working just a few seconds ago. And it only took them 20 hours to fix the issue!

I guess I should have applied for that systems administrator position they had open a few months ago .

Yeah. I’m in the middle of selling a bike there and that’s the only contact I have for the buyer. F.

 

[canadmos]

Its not working here either. I wanted to lookup one of my for-sale items, but I guess I'll need to wait until I'm at home.

If you logon to Trailforks all the pinkbike private messaging is still working.

If it's not HTTPS, don't navigate to it.

There's no real danger in browsing a site that only uses http, just don't type or send anything to it that is sensitive, ie don't logon, don't type any credentials, buy anything etc.

Thanks for that. I couldn’t get my messages on the app, but I logged in on the website and was able to get to them.

 

[Sandwich]

unfortunately it looks like it's back up, at least for me.

 

[Fool]

Oh, did I miss a product launch of bar end caps? Vital has a pretty fuckin' good Raw posted today

of course it does. scottish internet is just that much better

 

[Kanye West]

Is it really that life-changing that a shitty bicycle website is out of commission for a while?

 

[Gary]

scottish internet

Haha
I'm fairly rural and still on dial up speeds of 3mbps max.
It's just enough for movie streaming or online gaming but won't really manage both at the same time. That does mean as a household we tend to spend more time together instead of tucked away in separate rooms staring at screens. So in the grand scheme of things I suppose you could call that "better" .

Hey, it's been a really slow day at work. It's 34 Celsius outside and I've nothing else to do.

It's either this or complaining about e-bikes.

 

[StiHacka]

Hm. In can't reach it on my phone.

 

[bullcrew]

Man I need my fill of bullying stupid little kids that talk shit, guess my kids will have to do for a bit.

 

[konifere]

Not working in Canada either.
