In the spirit of short term solutions, a 32" wheel will fit just fine in the front of any inverted suspension fork. At least for a while.

Bummer. Have two of their bikes. Sucks to lose another small company doing their own thing.

Rumors flying on Reddit that Knolly is no more, or at least bankruptcy upcoming. If true… sad day that Reddit beats Vital to a big rumor. https://www.reddit.com/r/mountainbiking/s/X7ho0Uxg8t

People most likely move to electric moppeds before they move to bikes. I am still puzzled why electric scooters and Surrons are not more of a commuter thing in the US. I think in China they are.

9 months? But I thought the Supreme Leader said there was nothing left to target and he could end it any time he wanted. Maybe he's getting rich out of the higher oil prices? 🤔

Isn't it more likely to drive adjustments to fracking regulations than bicycle mobility?

This is probably more relevant for the main tech rumors thread, which has evolved into pretty much just the stream of consciousness for us vitalers regardless of topic, but what if we had a bot that counted comments, and once a specific topic gets more than 5 comments in a 24 hour period it auot-comments and suggests a new topic for it?

To keep it relevant to bikenomics…with the conflict going on overseas and with gas prices hiking, I will say bike shops do see higher traffic during gas spikes as people look to bike to work. I wouldn’t call the biking industry recession proof but there are certainly interesting market factors that could help soften the blow.
