gotdurt Liked a comment about Feature How Much Money Does a Bike Mechanic Make? The Answer May Surprise You

No flawed system; I was in the same boat, but there came a time when I became an expert in my field realized that I could be the one charging the bigger bucks on my own... then I found out how much it costs to be the business owner, with all of the overhead, etc... it's still better, but not that much; sometimes I do miss the days when all I had to do was clock-in, clock out, collect a check...

Yeah, because LBS owners are making soooooo much money. No one makes real money in the bike industry. A lot of people make a living, and some people who are really really really good at what they do make decent money, but anyone in the bike industry who's even reasonably good at their job could be making 100% more in any almost other segment of the economy. People work in the bike industry because they love bikes, and they're willing to deal with a lot of shit to do what they love. Pay reflects that.

Turman, you run your rebound super fast. Everybody knows Sam Hill runs it super slow. Way to blow it again, man.

TEAMROBOT Added a comment about news story Judge Rules Trek's ABP Design Does Not Infringe on DW's Split Pivot Patent
12/16/2013 6:11pm
How is that not patent infringement? The judge said that ABP and SP use "differing leverage rates and shock technology." If leverage rates and shock technology are the differentiating factors between pivot designs in patent disputes, then how on earth did Specialized defend FSR for 17 years? Obviously "leverage rates and shock tech" are not the only differentiating factors, or even significant factors. Pivot placement is pivot placement.

Nico Voilloz is clearly the GOAT. No comparison. Total and complete domination. Peat has won more races, but he's also raced for twice as long. No one has come close to what Nico did.

Andrew Neethling cannot scrub at 30 mph. There are maybe 4 people in the world that can scrub a mountain bike at 30 mph to get out of trouble. Scrubs are not a normal tool in the downhillers toolbox. Stop using the word scrub.
