I mean the IP of Nukeproof really isn't a lot. Not having a go at them, but a few horst link bikes and a couple linkage driven single pivots. Not like they had anything revolutionary, they're bikes are very middle of the road, not in a bad way.

I've seen this as well on Bikeradar which had way more information than most other sites, suggesting they did get the IP as well and some of the staff were returning " BCF has purchased existing Nukeproof intellectual property – this would include the existing bikes in the range, as well as componentry." https://www.bikeradar.com/news/nukeproof-returns

RE: Nukeproof, this is a portion of an interview on Bike-EU with Belgian Cycling Factory CEO Joachim Aerts. Full article is behind a paywall. How big is Nukeproof in relation to Ridley? Ridley is about half the size of Nukeproof in revenue. Nukeproof also includes a series of parts and accessories. We will continue to distribute these. What other assets were included in the take-over? We only acquired the brand, nothing else. To maintain the continuity of the brand, key members of the previous team have already joined us, bringing their expertise and deep understanding of the brand’s DNA. Together...

2 years ago some eagle eyed super nibblers on here spotted an ochain on saint cranks at a DH world cup,,,,, I figured enough time has passed that i can disclose how it happened. Am sure someone will be interested. https://www.mtbr.com/threads/modifying-saint-cranks.1237732/#replies

For the XC demons out there - Roval released a sub 1000gram (claimed 998grams) control world cup wheelset today it looks like Must be some of the lightest XC wheels from a big name manufacturer. And with some form of warranty/crash replacement, at least for US customers. Here in europe we dont get the "crash replacement" part of Roval unfortunately. Not sure how good or bad it is for you guys. Priced just around $3000 for you guys, where I live the price converts into about €3500, so quite steep. https://www.specialized.com/us/en/roval-control-world-cup/p/1000218374?…

Smart guy, but this is going nowhere. He should consider directing his talents towards a small central mounted miniature drivetrain in a box. Of course it would not be compatible with e-bikes, so that's a problem too.

From Apricitas Economics post this morning; The costs of these actions are enormous, covering $1.3T in US imports or roughly 42% of all goods brought into the United States. If households and companies tried simply to import the same goods from the same countries as last year, they would now be forced to pay an 11.5% effective tariff or more than $370B in total So yeah, shit creek without a paddle it is.

I'll do a bigger post on this later, but it seems to me there is a greater likelihood of recession than I expected even 8 weeks ago. A few data points caught my eye today: Buffett Indicator: Currently sitting at ~2.1 standard deviations above the mean, signaling historically expensive equity valuations relative to GDP. Atlanta Fed GDPNow: Forecasting a sharp economic contraction of -2.8% in Q1, a significant shift from recent strength. Polymarket: Pricing in a 40% probability of a U.S. recession in 2025, reflecting rising concerns among market participants. If a recession materializes, especially alongside broad tariffs, ongoing inventory...

Round one of the Coil Shock Shootout: five rear shocks tested on a short section of mostly downhill trail. The shocks have all been tuned for the same bike, and are using the same spring. All shocks have been setup prior to being tested. A Freelap system will record the time for each run, and a subjective measure of perceived speed or "feel" will be noted before looking at the actual time. The Test Rig 2023 Specialized Enduro running an Intend Edge fork, and O-Chain device. I feel the kinematics of the Enduro make it a good test rig with...
