Happy two-year anniversary. @jeff.brines got on the horn with @TEAMROBOT and I to discuss what's happened in the bike industry over the last two years. The podcast is below, but I can't thank all of you enough for such an incredible discussion. The knowledge and courtesy in this thread makes me proud to be involved with Vital, and as I say a few times in the podcast, this thread in particular has felt like receiving a free education. We all hope anyone who has lost a bike industry job in the last two years is back on their feet or...

Showing up to a federal land agency meeting with heat maps printed discussing decommission was an eye opening experience.

And it just put a bullseye on the trail when you published your ride. You can remove sharing heat maps on your settings, not make rides public and hide your maps. Or just not strava those trails.

Why why why does it not have counter sunk screws from either side?

From the pits in Lake Placid today (Pit Bits vid coming in a few hours). What looks like dimples on the stanchion of a Boxxer, I'd assume to reduce friction. Forum expert opinion thoughts?

Looks like she’s pitting with Rock Shox and OC and Kolb are on their own. Oisin said in Wyn’s vid that the team guys are keeping it going without support from the brand

Actually whenever I was ordering the lever alone at the shop, it was called a "Member unit". Now that's clear and obvious..
