Fully agree. It certainly makes sense for Dorel to focus brands onto the disciplines where they are much better identified with. I am surmising that there must have been a disconnect somehow between the strategy planning in Dorel vs the decision makers in CDale a couple of years ago. In any case, I'm genuinely gutted for Tinker (he was in all the magazines back in the day), but Kirt Voreis has shown us what can be done if you dust off the bad shit of the past and adapt to the new ways of promoting bikes in the new millennium...

I think Mr Rude either needs to read a few rule books or has a word with himself if he wants to try any other disciplines. So weird someone that professional making mistakes like he has. Maybe time for a new working environment

Getting off piste a bit here guys…… come on now, get back on track. TEAM RUMORS. Not what you’d like to happen, but what you’ve heard or seen. people testing other bike brands. keep a eye out on your local trails.

The worst thing about all this is his taste of music! He should be educated Let there be lights, drums, guitars.... 🤘🏻

Hey Mericans. You are taking yourself to serious. Many people here do net have english as first language and where not raised in americain culture. You should accept that a joke is a joke. Is was not the best but hey, it was a joke. In my opinion this became way fo big just trough social media. Social media are bad. Very bad. Peace out to all the keyboard worriors that will now eat me alive. Leben und leben lassen Vivre et laisser vivre

You know what? He is French, and he really didn’t understand aboutt it! He apologized the next day because someone told him it was a really bad move!! In France there’s no notion of the N word, and why should we have? It’s an American issue, not a international one. We don’t get it, some respect it because we’ve seen it on movies and comments, even so, we don’t get it. Because the USA isn’t the center of the universe, and in France , we never had laundry’s for “whites” only, or restaurants or dinners where black fellas were not...

Damm, all these years I lived on ignorance: if it’s on the internet then it must be true!!! I am officially a racist! Have a great discussion fellas, I m out to bike checks and some other interesting stuff Cheers

Well I am not a racist person by any means, and I think America and Americans nowadays are way too serious and getting offended about everything! I look at that post and I see a joke, could be a bad joke, not funny whatsoever, but he’s joking about black culture/music or whatever! He’s French, I am sure he has black or Arabic friends. Let’s talk about mountain bikes instead my friend!

The amount of marketing needed to sell a product is inversely related to its function.

Not on insta, so linking a screenshot from another forum: B. Pierron out of hospital and straight into the clone wars, that thing wraps around the back of his head. That family definitly doesn't skip arm day. mods feel free to replace with insta link if preferred

There goes the neighborhood.. But welcome to all of you new transplants and lurkers. The ride here is full of well calculated shim stacks and comfy bar widths. If you brake too hard you may go over the bars and get checked. Enjoy the culture here and respect it. We are just all riding bikes and having fun when it comes down to it.

Not a single Ellsworth on the list? I'm disappointed.
