I think one of the largest "We're not in Kansas anymore" moments I had when I began working for a component manufacturer after years in bikes shops was when I had the insignificance of aftermarket sales explained to me. Don't get me wrong, every brand worth their salt is going to support aftermarket product bc why leave money on the table, but OE sales are king in the bike industry and ultimately OE sales drives every design decision.

Should know more Tuesday

Buying a Santa Cruz usually costs a bit more, but there are some legitimate reasons other than VPP to buy one. Kinematics / ride dynamics are well engineered regardless of linkage used SC geo is usually solid, nothing weird Build quality Ability to purchase replacement parts for many years (try buying parts for a 5 year old frame from any other bike company) Lifetime warranty (one that you can actually count on).

I just put above. I usually try to do that for sure cuz I understand the value of digging haha My internet was being whack and only 1 of my 3 screenshots uploaded on that first go. Just got the other two to go up above

Not a Gates belt and the teeth on the crank cog look either misformed with every other tooth joing, poorly 3d printed or just straight up hallucinated.

lol this again

Looks like legacy eagle is getting an update S100/S200/S500

PS. New saint flat pedals releasing later this month…. Except they are from 2021, when they first released and then quickly got shelved because the axles were breaking. So they finally updated the axles, only took five years 😂
