Ask your mom, OOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH! . . . . . Sorry, I couldn't resist

Don't be sad. I struggle to wrap my head around inflation too. Sometimes I find it helpful to recalibrate like this: Adjusted for inflation the MSRP of a 2012 Sworks Stumpjumper FSR would be $2,494.63 more than the MSRP of a 2024 Sworks Stumpjumper FSR. Adjusted for inflation the MSRP of the most affordable 2012 FSR would be $748.51 more than the MSRP of their most affordable 2024 full suspension. i.e. prices have actually fallen, over 20%; while bikes have certainly improved, significantly. There are still big innovations like what I'm doing, or Lal, Trust, or ebikes; and there were...

7005 (or 7020, the EU equivalent of 7005) can, 7075 for all intents and purposes no. A higher ultimate strength limit will also make it more fatigue resistant. Stiffness wise it's basically no difference between the two. For brazing you need enough surface area for the two parts to be joined, so you might as well glue the tubes in the lugs and be done with it. 7005 also needs to be heat treated, but it's cooled in air, 6000 series needs to be cooled in oil and thus requires a more complex heat treatment equipment. 6000 is more easily...

Nigel Page got a new frame and hopefully fresh backing of what he does. He has posted about receiving all sort of goods lately.

take the politics to the off the bike forum.

Stay on target boys! We are drifting into Weight Rumors and Innovation territory.

We've seen Mr Bomba back on DH sled, took part in the first Portugal cup. Could this have something to do with Daprela leaving and Borges officially on E-EDR? Dante getting bumped back to factory spot, Bomba to Dainese DH as well as E-EDR when possible? Would be fun to see him and Moir in some DH race.
