That's an awesome story. The first time I crashed going really fast I was 14 and I was convinced I had just died.

it's rarely about race results but mostly about company/team bribes. some of us earn half our yearly wages by stacking these power rankings lists. seriously serious though, we always consider marcelo (look at our last 2 power rankings - PMB and Cairns). there are only 15 spots for the top 15 and we have 30 riders we'd like to squeeze in there.

Is experimenting good? Wrong question. The question you have to ask is "who's making these things?" There are real weaknesses in the modern mountain bike: just last week Spomer you were talking about flat tires. That's a huge area that could be improved, and people are working all the time to end flat tires while maintaining performance. Good on them...

I dont know much about the Ohlins stuff, but I do like that TLD Sprint gear they are wearing.

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.

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.
