I think it may require a straight seat tube to fit patent. It’s a patent that never should’ve been awarded and that’s the real issue. I don’t fault knolly or intense in this exchange.

12/16/2020 11:36am this would be the approach i would anticipate intense approaching (ie showing plenty of prior art from not just them, but other bike co's), and that's assuming it even gets that far.

A jury is going to be less familiar with patent law, and the convoluted legalese that goes with it. Course that double edge sword is if Intense lawyers just put up photos of bikes that fall within this patent that predate it, WAY easier for a jury to go "yeah this seems bs"

The patent refers to the uninterrupted seat tube that is placed at a 55-65 degree angle. Not sure they can even get this to court. This patent is a joke and the fact that they asked for a jury trial is laughable. Something doesn't add up.

12/15/2020 6:26am trying to think of bikes that pre-date the patent with this configuration. zumbi f44 is one of the first that comes to mind.

12/15/2020 6:22am yea, my guess here is that intense will likely challenge the validity of the patent.

i'm curious too, but the line we were given was that USA wanted 160 forks on all bikes from the get-go, but it prob wasn't going to happen. then, at the 12th hour, it did happen. someone on youtube comment "europe got robbed" - haha, so funny and seems kinda true.

finally one that will fit my mattoc. edit: does the plastic carrier work with the multi tool from the original EDC? the listing for the lite seems to imply that, and mentions that extra carriers can be purchased for $15. I have the original EDC, if it works with that tool I'd rather just buy the carrier itself, but can't seem to find it. update: got a response from oneup. the plastic carrier will work with the multitool from the original EDC, and the plastic carrier is listed under small parts for the EDC. currently out of stock, but they...

i remember hearing Neko on a podcast last year (i wanna saw it was Downtime - sorry spomer!), in regards to domestic racing and the pro GRT; he was talking a lot about this - how difficult it is for US racers to make that step to WC level in regards to the points requirement. i remember him acknowledging how it seemed counterintuitive to have so few Pro GRT races, but that it was part of a longer term goal to build the series back up.

Well said. A few years ago I got 5th at US Nationals and qualified for my first World Cup. I now work my ass off as a traveling nurse- often on call and overtime and get usually get up at 5 am, train, and then go work a 10 hr shift. Not at a desk. In surgery. Lifting more heavy things. Running down hallways. All so I can can afford to fly myself to any World Cups I’m able to qualify for. Where I am my own driver/mechanics/chef/trainer/mental coach/unexpected catastrophe solver. Life as a privateer is HARD WORK. Thank you...

Another issue: the UCI should take a look at how the FIS handles the comebacks of injured skiers. As far as I know when injured skiers come back they are in an "insured state" for a couple of races where they can keep their pre-injured starting position. So something like with Myriam Nicole should not happen. She was former World Champion, is current Vice World Champion but was not allowed to participate at A practice. I assume she was not protected, so a mechanical or crash in qualification would have taken her out of the race. I further assume such...
