Ryan Burney Liked a forum topic MTB Compliance Analysis: Danny Hart's Modified GT Fury Frame
1/6/2025 12:39am
Danny Hart's GT Fury caught a lot of attention this past World Cup season as it had some notable structural frame modifications to increase compliance. Dale, Danny's mechanic, is a veteran frame engineer and had some great ideas on how to fine tune Danny's bike to work best for his style and to eke out the literal hundreths of a second needed to win races. If you haven't seen these mods, check out this quick section of Vital's PIT BITS video here. Let's dig into each modification. This will be extra fun because I was fortunate enough to be the...

We have entered the part of silly season where people float (and debate!) wild speculation that a 42 year old Dan Atherton returns to downhill (last result was 57th at Crankworx in 2018) on a new rubber band bike to chase a $100k podium. Perhaps we need an award for most ridiculous rumor every year. 🤣🤣🤣

Worked for a company selling a shit ton of brakes to Surron. They'd take the money, but did not shout about it considering the amount of chavs that bomb around on them balaclavad up and knicking purses in London.

Nothing to do with stigma. I just don’t think anyone’s 768 pages down this particular rabbit hole to get excited about whispers of a new e-moto fork.

Not sure if it was already mentioned, but after canceling an order I found out that German shop Hibike is " in the middle of an insolvency proceedings".

Manufacturers shouldn’t be saddled with carrying the burden of a social safety net though- that is a particularly American Problem, and it’s why this thread exists in the first place… The American economy is a blind consumption machine based on hope and smoke and mirrors and the fantasy of infinite economic growth The underpinnings of the economy are not sound- poor STEM education, horrible educational outcomes per dollar spent, 3rd world healthcare outcomes, historic attacks on family planning, zero affordable housing being built or subsidized, automobile and intermodal-shipping container-centric infrastructure… all Americans pay real social and economic costs for these...

The median income in the last ranked state (Mississippi) is higher than the median income for the entirety of the UK. Your problem is lack of social programs, not lack of income. American's are obscenely rich, yet have ~15% poverty rate (from OECD data). If you get an international perspective you'd realise how well off the majority of Americans are

Your local bike mechanic doesn’t make enough money to enter a bike race, let alone buy a bicycle. The stock market isn’t the economy. The vast majority of americans are living one paycheck away from homelessness, in constant fear of medical debt, with less purchasing power every week due to the financialzation of the economy, stock buy-backs and sheer unregulated greed. Ymmv, of course.

Seen as a marketing move, 100 grand for a World Cup racer is no problem to me…triple that for Danny fuckin Hart Mr stay on your bike big balls boy. Slam dunk! I remember launching a shitty bike for a Norco-esque company like ten years ago…IIRC it was like 35,000 bucks for a banner ad “takeover” week on pinkbike. They didn’t like the bike (it was ugly and nobody really liked it) but they took our money and came up with some positives…tons of money disappeared in those schmoozey “media camp” payola parties too I get it, thats a way...
