5/17/2021 1:19pm so if they don't want media coverage, why call it a series? or even announce anything about it in the first place?

5/16/2021 11:32am Whoa! Everything outside of Darkfest is so poorly covered I'd honestly forgotten it even existed and was supposed to be a "series"

So does the RAD on there stand for Reverse Arch Design? Are they paying Manitou anything for that?

Here for the comments, since these types of articles always bring out the bigots/racists/homophobes/transphobes/overall shitty people. It's akin to turning over a log in the woods and a bunch of bugs start scrambling.

I can assure you it's not fake. I know the brand/component these guys are talking about. It went from 300 days last fall to 450 days in December, then 620 days in Jan/Feb. I'm doing my forecasts for our purchasing department so that they can order product to arrive in late 2023 right now (30 months from now). Forecasting (which is essentially trying to predict the future), is incredibly difficult under the best circumstances. In the present situation, there's almost zero detail on what the product will look like 2+ years from now other than the vaguest of details ("so-and-so...

5/6/2021 8:21am I don't know if i'd call it fake hysteria, but I would agree some of it is panic buying. I've seen a report (I think it was on BRAIN) that some companies are putting out multiple orders to different vendors and just waiting to see who delivers first. so I think there is some artificial inflation to the lead times...

5/4/2021 1:00pm did BMX freecoasters ever become more reliable? i had a KHE geisha grenade on me and gave up on them. that being said, i think they are very cool pieces of engineering, however the riding population they appeal to is pretty limited.

I hope to see a full women’s roster. Having only one woman in the mix is lame. Veronique Sandler’s edit was rad, would love to have seen Casey Brown, Hannah. Bergman, Samantha Soriano, Makayla Gator, Vaca Verbeek, and a bunch of other rippers!

5/4/2021 11:07am chain appears to be completely off the chain ring. hopefully there's mounting holes for a chain guide.

5/4/2021 10:17am I believe it. Given the complexity of the supply chain, labor & shipping restrictions, etc that's very believable. I was listening to a podcast last week, it sounded like some companies are increasing their order sizes in response to the long lead times, which would in turn serve to further increase the lead times.

4/30/2021 12:58pm i would assume a higher tiered rotor like ice tech (or a floating one) would be saved for the new saint launch (whenever that may be). the ones they have launched were alongside some other cargo and ebike components, so I'm not surprised they are not the higher tiered versions. that does strike me as a little odd - and...

Could have been... The way it read out to me was Specialized told Kate early on that she wasn't getting a new contract... So, she was already shopping before she won the worlds.. That win had to up her asking price and made Specialized look bad by not keeping her... It would have been good of Trek to let Katy know ASAP that they planned on not offering her a new deal..
