If orangeasaurus was really trying to fix the US debt problem, he wouldn’t let IRS agents get fired that have a 26x ROI on their salary when recovering taxes from the rich. I’ve said this before, but it’s relevant again. When the first Trump Taxes were added to foreign made aluminum, we were manufacturing bike frames in the US at GG. With the manufacturing already in operation, it absolutely hurt us, as the aluminum with “Made in the USA” printed on the bar stock went up 30% in price. These tax increases camouflaged with a different word do not help...

probably enforcing the existing tax code would be enough... but yeah, carried interest is complete BS, and loads of other shenanigans that should be obliterated.

And this is why I stopped posting on Vital lol Here's what I got up to today, anyway... https://www.reddit.com/r/mountainbiking/comments/1jp34sm/first_lil_test… Turning my Jeffsy MX into a dual 27. Send me $2500 I'll happily order the Dive. Although I really like the Beady Little Eye in dual 27 even more, tbh I could probly spend less money grabbing an old Kona Process and turning it into a slope project instead.

Looks like someone broke the news a little early

Thanks yeah I had noticed some weird behaviour with that app recently - it's a useful tool but the function was always a bit strange so hopefully they get it working again!

from whoop UCI - the Enduro Open "returning to enduro roots" ENDURO OPEN: AT THE HEART OF MOUNTAIN BIKING ADVENTURE Enduro at its heart is about adventure. The format ’s origins pitted competitors against remote, raw terrain across multiple days of competition, and its self-sufficient nature meant skills with a multitool were as crucial to winning as technical riding abilities. It has also been a testbed for new mountain bike technology, with dropper posts, 1x drivetrains and E-bikes all put through their paces in Enduro before being adopted by the wider industry. In 2025, the UCI Enduro World Cup is...

That's odd. https://youtu.be/W1-9iJFJmpk?si=bI291D9uVPcT5csr&t=1042

If I can add my 2 cents here. I don't think Sram paid Jack, or the team, anything. That whole YT deal is that they run whatever they want because they don't take money from any sponsors. Now I think that was changing because the industry is struggling and they probably saw how much money they were losing out on. My best guess is YT asked Sram to pay to support the team and they said no, so YT doubled down on the TRP/Fox association they had already been building. Vali would be the only one I could see saying...
