Slack Randoms: Roubaix Carnage, Shipping Delays, Exploding Drill Bits & More
@wburnes: I think we are both on the same page. I certainly think the ideologues on the left are becoming increasingly totalitarian and those who are moderate on the left need to stand up to these radicals.

To each their own. I don’t subscribe to the intersectional/ identity politics/ gender fluidity concepts but I respect an individual’s right to live their life how they see fit. Just don’t force your viewpoints on others or expect others to comply with your beliefs/viewpoints and it’s all good.

Inflation is going to wipe out demand for non essential goods like new bikes. Entry level bikes that were $500 two years ago are now approaching $750.

Enough with the remote lockouts for forks and shocks. Especially on an Enduro ebike. God I hate those things with a passion. Added complexity. Proprietary suspension. Cluttered cockpit. This is totally useless outside of racing cross country. When is Scott gonna learn that their twin lock is more trouble than it’s worth.
It’s a hard pass whenever I see remote lockout clutter on a handlebar.

Shimano Introduces New 'Linkglide' Drivetrain Technology with Bold Longevity Claims
@Zimbaboi: I’d say cx country is the minority. Most I know would sacrifice weight for more durability. That’s trail, enduro, dh, ebikers etc.

Santa Cruz are the Latest Brand to Increase Retail Prices Due to the Effects of COVID 19
@DetroitCity: Interesting but the devil is in the details with their program. Lots of limitations and the customer will still have a substantial out of pocket expense to get it replaced since labor/parts/shipping are not covered. Perhaps the rest of the industry may follow suit to some degree some day if they lose market share to Giant but I doubt it. Giant is able to do it since they manufacture most of the world’s frames.

@Baller7756: don’t make misinformed assertions about the bike business and warranty policies on pinkbike, (which has a LOT of industry employees up and down the supply chain) and not expect pushback on such assertions.
Sorry for attacking you personally.
Cool bikes btw. I hope you’re enjoying them.
