Except I haven’t seen Polygon or Ari totally hang their athletes out to dry. If they’ll publicly do that, imagine the shafting they’d give a customer in private.

Judging by the responses to comments yt hasn’t learned any lessons. I’m sure the vast majority of mtbers who actually care about the bike industry will continue to not want a yt. That said you will always have people who only want something cheaper and are willing to risk issues with customer service down there the road. And yt has competitive offerings. The real question is can they offer prices that are low enough to rebuild their customer base and still be profitable. Especially considering markus usually spends quite a bit on marketing. and considering how much success eastern brands...

Sorry, Dad.

Perhaps the AI slop was just the friends we made along the way.

Aight, i'mma head out. No bikes left.

Keep your eyes peeled on Monday and you might see a fresh Loic Bruni interview.

Carbon design and warranty issues and Bickering About it. Now back to Tech Rumors!

Are you serious? This is pushing cancel culture to whole new level if so. You may not like him, but unless he is breaking the rules of forum he has every right to post here just like you and me. If he bothers you so much just use the ignore function.

Whistler parking lot 1 reporting in - I just saw @Jason_Schroeder roll past on a very production looking norco DH race bike 🤘

This sounds very sad indeed. But who would have thought increasing the cost for the teams would have a negative impact?!

There are some dramatic dh rumors circling. Atherthon and MS will stop the programs Trek and Canyon have masive budget haircuts. At Canyon only Kiefer is under contract, all others did not accept the new offers.

You're right about that, I forgot how hard I got burned on the zs66 lower headset on my transition relay. Works is the only option... which, hopefully you want reach adjust cause that's the only option that won't creak.

Those shitty plastic headsets are popping up EVERYWHERE. Like, okay, you want to have headset routing, fine. Yes, that’s slightly annoying when you change the headset once a year. But now it becomes infinitely more annoying when the headset starts to fail on the first ride

Bike industry: 32" might make sense for tall people! Also the bike industry: Lots of small and medium 32" frames, no XXL frames.

I don't know how world cup mechanics mount DH casing tires with just their hands. Black magic fuckery. Especially for those conti teams. Getting them off is just about as bad. My only tip, if you will, Is to use the butt plug. I've never used an insert but I freaking love their tire tools.

New SRAM stuff is prohibitively expensive. Still buy and use GX Eagle. Why would I need anything else? I’m a gravity rider…my derailleur goes through hell. The last thing I want is to put a $600 derailleur on my bike. Upgrades to shifting? It’s a drivetrain…I click the shifter and the chain changes gear. What is there to upgrade?

I think the small/sleek looks of the Avinox motor and battery are way overlooked by us in forums and the media because of the power numbers. There’s some seriously good looking Avinox bikes out there and sitting them next to Spesh and Bosch bikes makes those bikes just look old. Full power but looks like a light eeb/analog bike is where Spesh needs to go in order to be able to charge their astronomical prices again.

hummm, if you're talking major MTB companies - I'm hoping this doesn't happen during my lifetime.

How is GoPro not related when I'm watching winning world cup race runs week in and week out on the GoPro Bike YouTube Channel? (Daks helmet sponsor too) On YouTube GoPro Bike has 91k subs vs GoPro Snow at 152k. I honestly thought the gulf of bike to snow would be much larger. Seems like bikes are a huge segment of the market for GoPro (and it's slowly slipping to Insta360 and DJI) I bet a fair amount of people in here have owned a GoPro and basically only used it on their bike. Highly relevant.
