Pappas717 Added a comment about feature What's It Like to Release a New Bike Product? | bikes: unaffiliated podcast EP. 1
12/5/2025 6:55pm Great discussion! As someone who has been in the bike industry for 30 years and has owned a shop for the last 6. Jason is REAL close on something..Specialized kinda nailed it on the latest Ebike release. Even thought I don't think they knew what they did or cared about the dealers when it happened. It was leaked for almost a year that they had a new Ebike coming. Spy shots, Rumors they are already in wherehouses.. Than after it was delayed I think do to so much old stock they thru the mega sale. I know of at LEAST...

12/3/2025 12:55pm Don't worry everyone: I already had a meeting planned with @sspomer this afternoon, so I'll be sure to tell him on all of your behalf what a terrible person he is and how we're not mad, just disappointed.

11/24/2025 6:37pm Watching the Downtime Podcast with Marcus Flossman . I just got super upset. He talks about arranging a legal way to deliver bikes to customers while under court administration where he bought the bikes to deliver to the customers with his own money but then later on in the video, he’s basically shrugging 🤷🏼♂️ his shoulders when it came to supporting YT Mob , says the court wouldn’t let them pay the riders or the team. Riders are paid as independent contractors. So we now know he bought the company back. My question is why the heck didn’t he enter...

11/19/2025 2:03pm Totally agree that this looks most closely like a DW6 linkage arrangement. The referenced Yeti patent lacks a link on the chain stay and Sixfinity is a has a different linkage configuration

11/13/2025 8:38pm To be clear..I know there will be a Specialized DH being sold soon..I meant between Crestline/Yeti/Frameworks Dh bikes..There is a old saying, Win on Sunday sell on Monday. Only Frameworks can make MONEY on that. I just looked at Crestline website..They have NO bikes to sell, AT ALL. DH bike is sold out (As it has been for 2? years)...

11/13/2025 7:54pm The one way it would make sense to me is if Crestline becomes the Frameworks E-bike sponsor and the Crestline DH bike goes away. To afford AG, Dak, Asa on one team. It's the American dream, along with AG or Dak riding Yeti, but it's also financially 2+2=5

11/13/2025 7:34pm Wow, This made me think A LOT! But..I don't see CL being able to throw as much as the big S to Neko in anyway. That said it's pretty funny that Frameworks is the only brand of DH bike ANY of us can or anyone else buy out of the 3..🤣

11/6/2025 6:39pm Just a heads up, Fox Factory and GoPro both report results tonight. I'll do my best to aggregate results, listen to conference calls (at least with Fox) and put a little post together. Cheers!

10/30/2025 3:07pm If I understood correctly on the podcast "Dak needs a sealant sponsor" he commented about talking to someone on an Intense and how fast that bike was. I think that was because he helped do the development on it. I think he even commented that he REALLY liked that bike. I do remember previous comments about difficulties getting the bike setup for racing when he only had it 6 weeks before the first race.

10/30/2025 12:15pm I liked the idea of Dak to Intense, but Will intense even have a team next year? If Joe Breeden is actually the guy rumoured to be testing a nukeproof then doesn’t that mean there wont be an intense on the World Cup circuit? Ms are now on zerode after all.

10/23/2025 6:57pm I believe the Wp cone valve is for impacts/compression blow off. Not rebound changes. but either way I think almost all the moto guys (KTM) were like ahh, NO. Unsure what it's gonna do on large impacts.

10/23/2025 5:17pm Racing at a WC level tends to cost a lot of money.. Given the industry struggles as of late, this really isn't too shocking.
