The bike industry is just too small and stuck in this mess. It's not a concern for anyone but those in it. US Brands are dying left and right currently due to the vertically integrated fashion market fueled by social media trends controlled by the country that owns the factories... No one wants to hear this but there are too...

The Tariffs are a negotiation tool. The admin wants even trade not lopsided. By adding tariffs. we are bringing these countries to the tabel to get the tariffs they have on us removed. AKA they caved in the negotiation. They are willing to concede and remove their tariffs in trade to get the ones Trump put on them taken off.

Taiwan caved. UK Caved. EU will cave because Italy isn't on board. Chess not checkers. Bike brands will fail. But it's not because of a trade war. It's because their investors bailed. Enjoy the show.

Not trolling. WD-40 isn't doing well in bike. Go to any store. Do you see their product placement? They also aren't the main FW sponsor. Not sure why this pisses you off. WD-40's bike division could be shut down. It's not a main part of their portfolio. Do I need to search the web for an "avalanche" of evidence to...

WD isn't the main sponsor. WD may actually shut down their bike division. It doesn't sell at all. They are a family owned business that doesn't need to spend money in biking. Only reason they have the bike products is to get youth brand exposure but so far if you look at their social media reach and product placement, the...

WD-40 Has logo'd shuttle trucks at Rock Creek. They aren't funding Frameworks. Neko got some money from Loctite to glue a frame. His sponsor rank is listed in order on all his posts. 2025 5 dev is the main sponsor. Last year they were the top as well but not title position. They make him custom parts so not sure...

That patent may be the worst written and non enforceable patent ever produced by SRAM. Also it appears to have been filed in 2021 before they got their ass kicked by Fox about their Narrow Wide "invention" that was created in the 1800's on a tractor.

Greg agreed to cover Danny's bar tab at every world cup race and give him a bike with full factory support. Who would say no to that offer?

eh Taylor Swift did the same thing when she launched an album. You can archive vs delete. It looks like a staged marketing thing. You can't not have 2 factor with that many followers and the notifications for unknown log ins would be numerous.

5 Dev seems to post a lot of specialized content in San Diego. they are sharing a road bike with sram transmission right now (no specialized road bikes have UDH). they make all of nekos frame parts.
