"Ride or die" on the top tube, but ROBOTS are curious if Turman's killed anyone yet. Doubtful.

'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.

If you instantly assume that "you'll pay more money" because it's made in the US then we're having the wrong debate.

“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...

So instead of gutting the environment in foreign countries to get our excess and unnecessaries out of sight and therefore purged from our conscious thought about the harm, pollution and destruction we cause wanting more until all the toxic excess from spending sprees comes floating back across the oceans and causes us to ban straws...we gotta make our stuff here and maybe try to drown in our own squalor by maybe trying to tone it down a bit and make bikes more responsibly here.

I really want to ride one to see if the hype is real, but man is that thing ugly. It looks like they had a parts bin with an old Honda RN01 swingarm, a VP free front triangle, then for good measure figured they would try to add more links than a Knolly. It's not REDALP ugly, but still...

Any mechanic that has Abbey tools in their box probably knows their stuff. The tools are like a high end version of Snap-on, but for bikes. Drool worthy.

thom9719 Added a reply to Sag and Negative Travel - Discuss
2/1/2018 10:18pm The goal of the negative sag on a bike vs trophy truck are different. The issue is power transmission. The trophy truck needs that negative travel to ensure proper traction when supplying 600+ hp to the rear wheels. Downhill bikes don't move forward due to rear wheel power transmission (for the most part). They move forward due to gravity. This...
