1/3/2025 10:02am The highest compliment a topic can get: a stern insistence the conversation be moved out of the Tech Rumors discussion and into its own thread. I feel like I just watched Bearings grow up, go to college, and get accepted to medical school. You'll do great, kid! We're proud of ya'!

1/3/2025 10:00am An analogy to further agree with you: I used to play a fair bit of online poker. I also watched a lot of poker coverage on TV when it was popular. Downhill is poker-on-TV. Enduro is watching poker live. The entirety of a poker broadcast is edited to show only the 44-minutes-worth of most exciting hands from a 10-hour day...

1/2/2025 1:47pm That's my bet. When the competition reduces their marketing to cut costs, you increase your marketing to invade their market.

1/2/2025 1:46pm I kinda assumed that Norco took a look at the landscape, saw an opening amongst North American (and specifically Canadian) brands, and is now making a longer term play to increase its market presence. Basically step into a void created by Rocky Mountain and Devinci, both of which are withering.

1/2/2025 1:41pm My mind is just blown at all of the Americans that think the economy is bad, and gas is expensive. I just don't get it. We are the economic envy of the entire planet by a HUGE margin and our economy is just insanely good. To top it off, I made more on my 401Ks last year than I did at my job and my side business, and neither is low paying.

1/2/2025 9:28am Anybody call it here before me? I'm trying to figure out if I heard it somewhere else or if I just guessed correctly. p.s. I was SUPER wrong about the Jewetts so I'll take this correct guess as a consolation prize.

12/31/2024 12:42pm Your economy doesn't need to be turned around. It's the most successful in the world by an insane margin. Americans are so much richer than the rest of the world it's nuts. Your problems are lack of social policy, not lack of economic activity. From The Economists reporting China themselves are getting annoyed at the offshoring of their companies to skirt tariffs as well, as it means no manufacturing jobs for the Chinese workers and instead the factory owners get richer by setting up new factories in Vietnam etc. They're predicting a mild crackdown on it in the new year...

12/31/2024 9:14am Aren't the new proposed tariffs going to affect all countries as opposed to just China? I know our government are talking about how trade with the US will likely be affected.

12/30/2024 9:32pm This write-up is a long one that starts with some snark. Sorry. Here's the thing about words: They mean whatever they mean in the context of their use. To quote Run DMC: "Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good." Just because a word looks a lot like much of "endurance" and a given definition of the word outlined it...

12/27/2024 10:55pm That's quite the assumption. Do you have anything concrete to go off of with that or are you just feelin' vibes? Just as wild an assumption (I don't know anything other than I liked Pivot's bikes and then I found out about the team and started and continue to pay attention to BK's videos like I do many other riders'...

12/27/2024 9:58pm A boy can have more than one grip design he likes. Burgtec could spin it like "when the old man was fast he used these."
