First Ride: Atherton S170 - Long Travel & Lugged Aluminum
You can, but you would permanently weaken the tubes by doing so, even with post weld heat treatment you might want to pivot away from such a plan.

First Look: Tektro's New Entry-Level Gemini Drivetrain - Taipei Cycle Show 2024
SRAM going absolutely batshit on pricing is presenting so many opportunities for brands to sneak into the value sector. I like it.

The dents, it's not my bike until it's got at least 2 dents somewhere on the frame.

Plus he look just the same now as he did in 2004, is he aging slowly or did he just age really fast through the 90s?

Review: The Pivot Shadowcat is Niche & Nimble
IME they're 'fine,' not terrible, not oustanding, fine. My Cotic came with them and they lasted two and a bit years, then I replaced them with Schaeffler bearings because they were available. Can't say I can tell the difference.

Wiggle CRC Reported to be Bought by Frasers Group for Under £10 Million
He treats his workers legendarily badly, as close to At Will employment as UK law allows. Plus his entire business model is buying the companies you used to love and wearing their skins until they're too rotten to pass for living anymore. He'll use the CRC brands to sell cheap Chinese shit from a catalogue until people figure him out, then he'll move onto the next recently bust company and start again.

I don't know, for the UK at least there is plenty of competition. For the employees it's about as bad as it gets, I feel bad for them and it's a crap way for Nukeproof/Vitus to come to an end after their first resurrection.

@lkubica: Mostly it's to do with the poperty developer who owned them betting everything on a property boom post Covid, when that didn't happen they were toast. However, the thing my country did to itself isn't helping.
