To be fair, it's also possible that competitively priced and highly specialized manufacturing will pop up in the U.S. at enormous scale with armies of knowledgable, specialized non-immigrant workers in the next month to save us from these high costs. That's all we need. Well, that and in-country raw material extraction for materials that often don't exist in our borders in the quantities we need, like bauxite, rubber, lithium, cobalt, rare earth elements, etc. But if we can figure out those two aspects in the next month we'll be fine.

When printing 7075 stops being exclusively for NASA applications, that's when some truly insane bikes will start to hit the market. I'm hoping to start prototyping my own alloy lugged rig from September and I'll be updating this forum on how it all goes!

Slightly off topic maybe, but this past week I've been looking for a new enduro bike/frame after I discovered a big crack in my Nukeproof Mega (obviously no warranty on that anymore) and I've tried to contact a few brands with specific questions about bikes; often asking what is the max seatpost insertion on a frame, cos they left this off the geometry chart. I've been surprised by the complete lack of response from some brands and retailers. Given that I have money waiting to be spent on a new bike and the current state of the market, I thought...

I thought this comment, from the Escape Collective's Cape Epic coverage, was interesting and wonder how it stacks uo against Fox Neo... " A few riders using Flight Attendant had buttons in highly convenient locations and noted the need to be able to quickly unlock the suspension when a smaller bump or rut was coming up as the system, as good as it is, seemingly cannot react quickly enough for their needs. "

I've been a bit anti 12 speed and anti-electronic shifting for some time. Not because I'm an old man screaming at the clouds but because I bought them and used them for 2 years and frankly found them heavy and to not really do anything better. However, at least for my e-bikes, I think I'll go with the new Transmission 90 (or whatever it's called) with the GX cassette on my next full power e-bike. I'll stick to 11 speeds on my pedal bikes though. I still think e-bikes need wide ratio 11 speed cassettes from about 10-48, but I...

Has anyone heard anything more about the SRAM "IT issue"? My X0 T-Type mech died (second one) and LBS said they have a box of them for warranty but that SRAM can't process any warranties because their B2B portal is having "IT issues" and has been inaccesible for ~a week. Reps can't log in to their computers, phone system doesn't work etc.

Very curious to see the reviews on the mech transmission. Specifically, how much of the āamazing shifting under loadā is really due to the firmware rate limiting the shifts, vs the actual cassette design (Ofc if the system prevents you from dumping gears in a bad place or otherwise shifting like an idiot then the shifting will appear to be betterā¦). Also more curiosity than ever to try and run the direct mount derailleur with a shimano hyperglide chain and cassetteā¦.probably need to swap the jockey wheels but otherwise it should work?

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...

Maybe not all 40 employees are full time? I know of a biotech company that inflates their staff numbers for the investors by listing e.g. their freelance marketing guy, their interns, cleaning personal, tax consultant, etc. as "staff" although most of them do only get a tiny fraction of their full salary from them.

Most americans dont realize that the german bike market alone is nearly as big as the entire US bike market. We're too busy doing important things like defending the continued use of the imperial unit system and changing map names to the Gulf of America (aka the gulf of small hands and fragile egos).

Sam Hill said... SRAM didnāt even return an email or phone call when he was try to put a bike together most recently. Seems pretty disrespectful to athletes (and champs) that helped push your products for many years. Itās one thing to not resign a rider. Itās another to just ghost them like they never existed!
