Yes we are working on that at the moment. Our goal is to have the first bike with every drivetrain option available.

Why does including others mean you are ignoring your current demographic. Poc includes you my man. Why is trying to be more inclusive a bad thing or a waste of money if it means more sales in the future. Yao Ming was one of the best things to ever happen to nba from a business standpoint. It blew the Chinese market wide open and it never closed once fans were Introduced to the game. So thanks for making an excellent argument for me there. None of this is nonsense. Businesses invest in opening new markets all the time. Not only...

Looks like it’s got less travel than those tyres. I think gravel bikes are cool but that is a sad little stump of a suspension fork. Can it really be worth the additional cost/weight?

The last thing I want is some computer trying to change my suspension feel mid-descent. Predictability > some settings that some engineer in Japan dreams up. The only sort of integration I wouldn't mind having would be something that disengages climb mode on my shock when I drop the dropper post... for those rare times I actually turn it on for a long climb, then of course forget to turn it off when I start heading down.

I don’t know anyone who has owned a current style specialized enduro that hasn’t cracked it.

The Enduro of course. Seattube-toptube joints cracking, shock tunnel yoke to seat tube area cracking, lots of stones getting caught in the chainstay linkage (above the BB ) and around the shock, causing cracks (the Stumpjumper comes with a much better frame protection equipment to combat that), there have been cases of headset seats cracking, the replacements included Sworks frames replacing Comp spec frames, Fox X2 shocks replacing knocking Super Deluxes, etc. I don't have personal experience, but I know a few people that do and that follow the topic quite in-depth (in multiple owners groups across the internet). It...

5/11/2021 2:42pm That's super cool to see that Specialized was doing actual testing on reach length vs. stem length to see how they affected steering. Always cool to see real test mules to do back to back testing. So much of bicycle geometry conventional wisdom is just guesswork and accidental discoveries. Curious what they discovered. Obviously, they chose to go with longer...

Obviously Boulder is the worst for mountain biking, but most of Orbeas business is road bikes. Road and gravel are huge in Boulder and riders on the front range have $$$$$. Target demo reached.

“We believe that Boulder’s incredible cycling culture and progressive landscape" Man, they are going to be very disappointed when they actually get to Boulder.

Two things... 1) Fox just reported earnings last night - unsurprisingly was a blow out quarter. If someone has time listen to the conference call (its recorded). Guessing they dive into supply chain issues as it was mentioned in the PR. 2) What you listed may be true on the wholesale/supply end, but a quick google search and I could find everything you listed without digging around. Not sure what tires you can't find, but all the usual suspects were readily available. I'm not trying to say there isn't a problem, but as it stands now, if I were to...

I don't know if i'd call it fake hysteria, but I would agree some of it is panic buying. I've seen a report (I think it was on BRAIN) that some companies are putting out multiple orders to different vendors and just waiting to see who delivers first. so I think there is some artificial inflation to the lead times, but I don't think that accounts for the majority of the increase.

5/5/2021 11:34am Jeff Brines- I've never not been able to find a part that I need during Covid, but like you said I've often not been able to find a particular part I want. I think the big difference is whether you're building/maintaining a bike because you like riding bikes or you're building/upgrading a bike because you want all matching gold AXS...

There were some BRUTAL crashes and tons and tons of not so brutal ones. Wheels died. My brand new that day rim folded in so hard it touched the inside of the rim and we had to chisel it back into place. Nine Five has a video of a Seth Stevens wheel bomb wreck that should surface soon. Here's a few on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/COei-aIH7oX/
