About Me

Been riding for 10+ years but got serious in 2010 and haven't looked back. I ride mostly Trail/XC with the occasional AM spin when I can get the time. Also a professional drummer with almost 30 years experience.

This brand is worth less than zero. TE saw to that himself. When you're the 3rd or 4th eatery going in at the same location and you think 'this time will be different, we can make it work'. Please, burn this company with fire and let it die once and for all.

An example would be the cotton gin and how it eliminated the need for the hard labor aspect of picking cotton. The bike industry is hopefully headed for it's cotton gin type of technological leap soon.

Industrial automation is the next big shift in technology. Jobs just change. When it comes to welding and milling again raising prices force technological innovation. We went to Asia for many aspects of manufacturing due to lower labor costs. If we can replace those jobs with automated systems the end result will be higher quality and cost less to produce.

'Democrats, or Republicans' was not mentioned. I hope you do see the relevance of the cost of cycling goods to a cycling site though. News that will most likely affect everyone should just be seen as that, news, not bias. Plus, this article had good arguments for and against, which should be the standard of quality news. Better to be educated than insulated.

It brings back jobs to the USA which makes us a stronger industrial power player in the world market.

“Some domestic manufacturers of bikes and accessories support the latest round of tariffs, especially in light of the March tariffs on steel and aluminum, which benefitted their competitors who imported complete products. For example, Chris Fortune, the president and owner of Saris Cycle Group, wrote a commentary posted on BRAIN Monday in support of the tariffs.” "These increased tariffs will help level the playing field for American manufacturers like Saris. We are not asking for special treatment, but rather for an equal playing field in a nondiscriminatory business environment. We are invigorated by competition and our commitment to American craftsmanship...

You should review the Garbaruk cassette. I have this e13 and have used many Sram and Shimano offerings and so far the Garbaruk 10-46 is superior in both shifting and design.

Ha ha! Anyone interested in an almost new 2018 SB 5.5 Turq frame with 150mm Fox Factory Transfer dropper in an XL? Will have a new FSA headset and the upgraded Real World Cycles needle bearing kit in the rear shock eye. I'm going to get this new SB 130 and call it good for a while.
