It looks like Competitive Cyclist couldn't wait for 8am PST. I snipped this from their website around 8:20am EST. https://www.competitivecyclist.com/sram-maven-limited-edition-brakes-ex…

Few thoughts... 1) Trailforks is a great cash flowing app. I know its adjacent to PB but its important to note Outside is likely making real money from the space. 2) I see traffic numbers all over the place for PB, but I hear they do 70-100M page views per month. Do the math on a CPM basis even running something like AdSense. When you ad up all their revenue streams (adsense, brand specific ad packages, youtube, podcast advertising etc etc), I'd guess they are doing something like $3-8M/yr 3) Expenses are relatively low, even with all their "content overhead"...

Norco is also Live to Play Sports which is one of the big distributors in Canada. I imagine the brands they carry played into the brands he could pick from

it's almost like the thumbnail in the most popular section below of the Mt Saint Anne Pit Bits is having a "oh hey look at me" moment right now. they're hollowed from the underside. https://p.vitalmtb.com/styles/full_size_1600/s3/photos/users/94/photos/… **edit - one of you cool cats embed that picture.

I would also add that it's combined with some pretty bad luck around those partnerships. It seems like Felt, Corsair, Evil, and Hyper were all kind of unable to pay what he was worth during those contract periods. I have a hunch Devinci could be in a similar position with how many other athletes they've let go this year.

Good point. Zink's been with TLD, Oakley, and Deity for almost 20 years. Not small players in the game.

Only need room for a beer can sized bottle anyway right?

As someone who basically only rides park (yeah bro) and has done so on bikes with and without water bottle cages, I appreciate not having to stuff a water bottle in the waist of my pants to stay hydrated. Bottle mounts all the way!

I say this as a guy who only owns an enduro, but why not? It's great to get to the bottom of the trail and head right back to the lift instead of going all the way out to the car for a sip. Now, in racing situations, I can see why you might not want the extra weight.

One of the best things I ever did was drill into and insert pop rivet bottle cage mounts into my Yeti DJ.

There's a big difference between racing 6-8 times per year as we are now vs. racing all year. Professional racers should be able to make a winter series work with a short (1-2 month) break in the fall shoulder season and then another short break in the spring shoulder season before the summer series. I would prefer that the "winter series" is in the southern hemisphere to catch their summer as you mention though. Each series should be at least 10 races. Riders are already skipping major events as it is, but I think that's just part of our sport...
