Tell that to their stock price, revenue, profitability, and declining margins. 🤣 Shimano is being eaten alive from above and below. Cues and road are like the only bright spots they have left. The mass market also doesn't care about Cues. Walmart bikes (ozark trail) come with ltwoo and microshift. Specialized and trek offer cues on a select few bikes... where it competes with... ltwoo and microshift in the range. They are maaaaaaybe moving enough cues stuff to offset revenue weaknesses in other segments. In a quest to make half as much money as before? Again, see their financials. It's...

Is there a way to post/forward from another Vital thread? Orbea from the whistler DH thread: https://p.vitalmtb.com/styles/s1200/s3/photos/inline/basic/IMG_1103_0.j…

" No one actually cares about cues or whatever, people want shiny fancy shit." That's funny, no one cares about any higher level mtb groupset at all when it comes to the mass market. Cues, 105, Deore and untiered groups sales are what allows Shimano do some cute sidequests like XTR, DuraAce or Saint.

I actually think that "x" second penalties based on the severity of leaving the course would be a good thing. It seems wrong to disqualify someone given all the hard work and money spent to be there, but make the time penalty count for something. For example Lachie's mistake, given that it was quite minor, could be a 5sec penalty. He gained nothing by going outside.

Yes, them's the rules. Everyone knows it when they line up at the starting hut. No protected riders No mercy on leaving the track Welcome to DH.

In 2040, the shifter will get a hinged clamp.

Pricing on that bike is pretty gnarly but I get it. People in the PB comments are big mad about it, but it will sell. They complained about demo prices and I saw dozens of them in Whistler when I went last month. Norco has been spending money on development and roster like it’s going out of fashion ever since they started with the new range. I’d be happy to pick up a torrent when they are available to support them. (Too slow to justify the team DH lol) Side note: Wasn’t norco one of the teams that announced they...

or that ebikes are gettin way to f*in powerfull!

It's going to be be hilarious when it costs more than a CR450

Naw. It’s your being a dick to people on this form. Cascade components is a great asset here. However, you’re just an ass.

Lining up for lower A Line on a Stumpy... love to see it

Why of course you may, however, I shan’t oblige you with that request.

Dude, shut the hell up. This is the same crap I warned everyone about on the suspension form.

A certain newly active member should be along to shit all over this with a quickness
