Santa Cruz CEO Joe Graney Out at Pon Holdings
@lowkeyokeydokey:
"they outsold Trek, Spesh and Giant!!"
"well, they outsold them on the expensive bikes"
"well, they outsold them on the expensive bikes, sold in the US"
to win your argument you're going to get to the point of "they outsold them on the expensive bikes, sold in the US, with the first letter of the bike model being an H"

Slack Randoms: Comparing MTB Prices to Motorcycles, Performance Pee Bottles & More
@BarryWalstead: you do realize that record sales will most likely equate to record profits? Doesn't mean they have large profit margins, just the most profit they've ever made.

@Losvar: have any real data to back up that 10 times machine work in moto versus MTB? How about the bit about the margins?

@lkubica: all current mtb suspension is not sclaed down moto suspension unless you're stricitly talking about coil suspension, and then its just closer and not the same.
and speaking about suspension. How many motos just run single pivot swing arms?

Crankworx Announces 2023 Season Including July Dates for Whistler
@Clownshoe: Towns normally hold big races to increase tourism. Whistler is already booming, and the amount of money the UCI probably charges isn't worth the bid to pull in a race.

Orbea Announces Price Increases Due to Supply Chain Issues
@rossluzz: no, you don't HAVE to buy all that stuff, you WANT to.
ride in worn out trail running shoes. buy a $50 helmet. thousands of people don't run inserts. there are many cost effective pedals on the market. buy that $2500 bike that runs the same geometry and suspension as more expensive models without all the fancy components. those $2500 bikes are far more capable than the highest end $4000 bikes from 10 years ago.

Revenue Round Up: Strong Sales Amid Supply Chain Issues
@vinay: its not the size of the factory that matters.
if you have sales demand that is generally 5,000 units a month, just because all the other companies are booked out doesn't mean that you just start producing 10,000 units a month. you need to hire people, buy machinery and find a vendor that can double your raw material needs.
I find it very hard to believe a company would have the capacity to produce 10,000 pieces a month but only build 5,000. thats a ton of money wrapped up in machinery and people just sitting idle.
