the berlin wall was build to keep everyone in. let's see how this plays out

Hey everyone, this is TJ. Tariffs aren't fixed to factory cost, or wholesale or retail. They're calculated based on the specific transaction price. The example we used is accurate for an ecomm purchase, shipped from our warehouse in Canada. If a retailer ordered the same short and we charged them half the price ($100), the same tariff percentage would apply, so tariffs would be $145 for a total cost to the retailer of $245. If the retailer sells that short to a customer and maintains their dollar margin the short would be $345 to the end user - however if...

Fire up the rumour furnace folks. 🔥

I'm aware, and have an understanding that 90% or more of riders have no business touching high speed compression or rebound knobs.

Bikes & riders were precise & on the edge while completely composed. 5. Simple, perfectly sculpted 90...

Honored, but be careful what you wish for. I will go full Adrian Brody at the award ceremony.

So I'll bite for a chance at a free van trip. My name is Charlie, I'm one of the tech editors here, based in LA. I'm a former pro MTB racer, have done a lot of bike travel, and I've owned my very own bike van in the past. I think vans can be awesome for road trips but are a real drag as a primary vehicle, which is part of the reason why rental vans for bikes/motos seems like an interesting business idea. Would love to do a one week rental and go to school remotely. That would actually...
