It would be a costly event if they had to postpone races for rain delay . I just don't think the money is there or time to postpone . Maybe they should go back to the old system of no qualifying points . Lets riders try and qualify in the top 50 and try to get there final run in good weather . But I think the new system is better and less French .

Have u tried one ? Lol

Great review , great shock , feels better than coil !

Thats a frekin nice bike , wicked build

This is a great way to cut down bars , maybe just a small file to give the ends a smooth finish . Works for carbon as well .The carbon bar just will need a small amount of prep , tape area and make a pre cut grove and use a fine blade in the saw .

Oz T on the other hand . Shops with lower overheads could mean the result of more bike shops . Trek has a big range of bikes and parts and there would be very few bike shops that could cary the entire range . In the last part of the article there was a reference to " The high profitability of service v sales " Would could see better pay and condition for bike mechanics and better training . But really the article only scratches the surface and Im sure allot has been quoted out of context . Until we see trek sight live its all second hand info . Like will trek drop the standard build ? will we be able to make the build we want on a bike ? . I just hope they come to the realisation that on high end bikes home branded parts as fillers just dosn`t cut it and thats were the consumer dosn`t see the value .
