Yeah thats the precise problem. They can't sell the stock they have. The issue is they may be forced to sell the stock at a loss, as it will result in a smaller loss then not selling it at all. Either way it's goodnight for them

Well, I have seen discussions of it also having something to do that when they produce a frame - They become a OEM competitor. If they dont produce one, they might be able to sell wheels to OEM's for full builds. (Just something I read in some forum somwhere, cant remember where) But, most likely since pricing has been discussed. It seems like the Arrival frames were priced at similar prices to other manufacturers framesets - Around $4k (Santa Cruz, Rocky Mountain, Yeti) etc. Same price, but produced in Canada, probably makes their profit on the frames way worse. I...

Tech: what appears to be a flip chip on the main pivot of the proto Session.

😅 when your tire meets the down tube of your frame

Kaos is on what appears to be a Rallon with a dual crown at Hardline, and Tahnee pulled out of the race (didn't even show up for a few photos and hits on the "small" features). I wonder if Orbea even has a completed frame at this point. Supposedly it's been spotted in Queenstown, but I don't think there have been any leaked photos yet. Anyone have rumors on the Orbea DH?

One year DMR fncked up and labeled all the lines as if you were cutting 10 mm of your bars. I.e. 780mm has a 750mm mark on both ends. The only problem was they were 10mm apart, not 5mm so a lot of people had bars 10mm marrower than expected

Can’t believe we’re going to see Hill, Rat, Vermette, Jackson, and Dunne all race the same track on the same day. Some of the most exciting racers of all time, at the same time. 💪🏻🏁👌🏻

Vali stepping up to the plate for her first Hardline appearance:

Possible that yeti are/were unsure if they would be in the top 15 or have a wild card and as such are waiting to find out before announcing the launch of a DH team?

But pushing mongo is always weird.

This is a bit like asking what is the correct stance in snowboarding, goofy or regular? There is no "correct", it's whatever works best for you.

That's still Ohlins

There's no slam dunk way to know what your correct spring rate is without trying a few springs, but according to the Fox spring calculator you could try starting with a 325. These spring rate calculators aren't the most accurate, but they can be a helpful starting point. Plug in your numbers and see what you get: https://tech.ridefox.com/content.php?c=springcalculator-embed

My guess is Brembo and the American bike company being Specialized. Brembo own Ohlins, who sponsor the Specialized DH team.

Check out Poirot over here! Fine detective work sir. It's not like we haven't been talking about it for the last 10 pages.

As of September 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) reported $40.21 billion in debt, while Walt Disney reported $45.82 billion in debt. Using massive debt to buy exclusive rights then charging more than many people are willing to pay doesn't seem ideal.

The leverage that is being put on the upper elbow of the silver swing link from the black pull link looks really high. I've never seen anything with that kind of geometry.

that's freaking sweet! here's a blown up detail from that pic. lots going on, eh?
