Yep, solved if I'm understanding you correctly. Hall-lock mod so the b-pivot can't rotate. File the X01 b-bushing down slightly, a little bit at a time (test, file, test, file) until the derailleur can't rotate at the bolt. If you've got a GX there's no bushing to modify, it's a crappy steel-on-aluminum design that suffers from premature wearification. The X01 b-bolt with bushing is around $30 USD and works perfectly on the GX so get that and do the mod. Your rear wheel will be slightly harder to remove as the derailleur doesn't pivot out of the way. But it's...

Hey everyone, this is TJ. Tariffs aren't fixed to factory cost, or wholesale or retail. They're calculated based on the specific transaction price. The example we used is accurate for an ecomm purchase, shipped from our warehouse in Canada. If a retailer ordered the same short and we charged them half the price ($100), the same tariff percentage would apply, so tariffs would be $145 for a total cost to the retailer of $245. If the retailer sells that short to a customer and maintains their dollar margin the short would be $345 to the end user - however if...

Juliana going away would not surprise me at all. It's belt tightening that makes sense. All they are is literally SC bikes with different paint, different shock tunes, and different touch point components. So a lot of exposure in terms of inventory that tends to move slow. That said, hopefully SC carries the lighter tunes over onto their smallest sizes, and brings back XS on some of their trail bikes to cover that gap. A buddy just bought a Bronson 4.1 XS for his kid and is stoked on it - better geometry and components than dedicated kids bikes of...

Your bias is showin' there, bub!

As a short person generally riding smalls or mediums and not focused on racing, I've always enjoyed shorter chainstays when choosing a bike. Manuals, bunny hops, and diving into turns are easier for me with me. My current Canfield Balance is one of the most dynamic bikes I've ridden with 420mm chainstays, probably the shortest you can get out there. I really enjoy that bike, but I need to be on my toes if I'm pushing it, traction can cut out on some loose flat turns primarily. I'd theorize that the people out there complaining about short chainstays are generally...

i love you friggin nerds. all bikes are great somewhere. all bikes suck somewhere. get moar bikes. short chainstays are cool. long stays are pretty wild too. dorado FEELS way different to 40. Way. but thats the point right? I feel like santa cruz screwed up by not making bullit "MOST BIGGER" (battery/travel/geo) compared to VALA. but my ebike is a 2stroke. so maybe im way off.

Hi! This is my first post on this thread, but I have been reading for 2 years now. I talked with Sam pilgrim and a few other canyon guys at Tennessee Nationals, and also got to swing a leg over the Production New canyon sender. Supposedly the bike was supposed to release April 12 (that’s what Sam said, he also verified that it was the production version he was riding) so there’s a chance maybe it is releasing this month still? His bike had a baby blue color with white canyon letters. The (production?) bike also was equipped with the...

I too dig photo articles like this way more. They're also less finicky to build. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice moped.

"Small businesses on a growth path are getting slaughtered" That's the intention. Eliminate marketplace competitors either through attrition or acquisition. The largest companies have learned lately that politically-assisted attrition with a side of insider knowledge is cheaper than acquisition so that's what the plan is. In this new order you have coming in, do you have new products or a restocking of the products currently listed on your website? The jerseys look like good options for me and I'm always down to exchange money for goods with a person rather than shareholders.

In the meantime, I have an incoming factory order of a couple thousand mtb pants that are going to be hit with an additional 26% tariff, for 53.9% total import tax. India. That would be all fine and good, if: 1: I thought consumers would be wiling to pay 26% more. LOL. 2: Tariffs would hold at 53.9%. They won't, so I'll be in a permanent hole on this year's inventory. These import taxes will roll away within a few months. Businesses need a predictable environment in which to operate. If I knew the tariffs would actually be permanent and...

Butch, this is the post and insight we want from you! Cheers.

Did you get those launch coordinates from a group chat you were recently added to?

Excellent points. Up until maybe 10 years ago, you could find RST products in local bike brands of third world countries (I'm speaking from experience here, I'm Argentinian). Then, SunTour started to gain market share. These days most entry/supermarket bikes have unbranded or same-brand-as-the-bike forks, mostly AliExpress basic stuff. Still, RST seems to be big in the APAC area, and in some way, in Brazil. You have to understand there's no way for a guy with a basic income of less than 250 USD to get the kind of money necessary to buy a brand new Fox 40 or Rockshox...

Considering the market opened down 6% I feel its probably a good idea for me to release this little app. Its a good place to watch how the publicly traded companies in the bike, outdoor, powersports or "outdoor adjacent" space are performing through this shit show. Few thoughts... URL: www.otherhours.com -The name isn't great. I just had that domain so I used it. -All quotes are delayed; I am using the Yahoo Finance dataset which isn't great (but is free). I'm also using FRED for the CPI/yield stuff. I would not rely on this to trade or anything, but it...
