glad to see it's not all just (overpriced) Renthal FatBars. Plenty of other great handlebars out there.

Kona Announces New Aluminum Process X
@VtVolk: I had a 2002 Kona Bear and a 2011 Kona Steely. Moved on to other brands later on in life... I only say this to acknowledge that this is a shit build.

Burning Question: Why Are So Many Bike Manufacturers Putting Cables Through the Headset?
I love how the (few) responses from the manufacturers criticize and point out the problems with existing internal routing in order to justify that this is somehow better.
Narrator: It's worse...

I remember when PB called the 120mm Kona Bear a "light freeride bike"

Mountain Bikes Don’t Need to Be Complicated: 5 Places Where Less is More
Bring back external cable routing. Internal routing "solved" a problem that never existed and in fact makes maintenance or replacing parts more complicated and costly.

Mountain Bikes Don’t Need to Be Complicated: 5 Places Where Less is More
I would love to buy a set of takeoff hydraulic brakes off someone, but they all have cut hoses due to internal routing. So now I also have to add the cost and time of getting a bleed kit, or having a shop install them for me.

Saris Acquired by C+A Global at Bankruptcy Auction
@grnmachine02: what is the margin on bikes though? Every year (up until COVID) we would see bike shops sell last year's models for 30-40% off. There's not way they're selling these at a loss. They have profit margin between MSRP and what they bought the bikes for.

Saris Acquired by C+A Global at Bankruptcy Auction
@mikealive: I didn't demand special treatment, I asked for a minor discount from MSRP, less than they've given me in the past as a long-time loyal customer. They've given me 10-20% off bikes in the past. consumers got ganked during the pandemic. Businesses didn't care. Are we supposed to feel sorry for businesses now? NO. the Invisible Hand is at work my friends....
