Aaron Gwin / Gwin Racing on CRESTLINE frames. Also a change to e.thirteen tires as noted in the photos. Dig into the PR for deets, he's part owner of Crestline through this deal. We chatted last night and being part owner of a brand or even starting his own brand was something he'd wanted to do for a few years now and this was the opportunity to get that done. Instead of rushing a podcast yesterday, we're going to talk with him next week after the dust settles, so if you have any questions, let us know! -gordo Official PR...

2/15/2024 7:53pm Interesting. I wonder if this sort of strategy worked at all for Giant in the past. Without any sort of aspirational top-shelf factory team stuff being on display, the brand will tend to be more associated to a mere budget line only. This is fine for locations in emerging markets, I guess, but for major cities, they may want to...

Just some broad commentary to add here - whenever looking at year/year sales graphs or tables, its not the worst idea to go back to pre-COVID just to see what linear regression may have otherwise drawn if COVID didn't happen. In many cases we're seeing things track back to an average of sorts if you equalize for "all the demand that was pulled forward". Its not perfect math, but its worth noting for those who are looking for "what does normal/baseline" look like?

2/13/2024 6:34pm I forgot to mention that Shimano's 2024 global forecast is actually not THAT bad as they are predicting global sales higher than 2019. This is actually much more optimistic than what most of the cycling industry were predicting towards the end of 2023.

The chart above shows the quarterly financial figures of Shimano, which basically shows a nearly 30% decrease from the year before. For 2024, Shimano is predicting a further 11.3% decrease from 2023, owing to geopolitical uncertainty in Ukraine and the Middle East; another factor mentioned is that the upcoming U.S. presidential election “may influence the economy.” From the article...

All of this mess makes me extremely grateful for how affordable and accessible SX, MX, and SMX are on Peacock. Hopefully things settle in the next couple of years, but it might just be highlight recaps for me this season.

2/6/2024 10:10pm Given the growing pains the coverage last year was going through, I don't think I'll be paying for UCI World Cup streaming this year either.

2/6/2024 2:54pm I'm going to walk on the wild side and go with Gwin Racing on GT frames this year. It's a good platform to race on, it's an American brand, and it'll be great for his bike park.

i feel that in the latest years Scott made a lot of Bold moves and made some of the shittiest bikes on the market, horrible choices to some "meh" bikes that just made them worse.

2/1/2024 10:37pm This guy had lots of potential. Had he been able to ride during the past season I think he would have had good results. I hope his restaurant becomes very successful.
