Video: Inside the Hope Factory
@betsie: I've got Hope brakes, hubs, and cranks on two different bikes, and have experienced absolutely none of those issues. I once had a master cylinder seal distort and cause issues, which was entirely my fault, and Hope fixed it for free. Other than that, easiest bike parts to work on I've ever used.

Pinkbike Poll: Do You Need Downtube Storage?
My bike can't even carry a water bottle, the idea of having a filing cabinet inside the frame just boggles my mind

Dario's Day 2 Randoms - Taiwan Cycle Show 2024
In the UK, we use "...mate..." as shorthand for "seriously, mate, what do you think you're doing, stop it, you're being silly and if it carries on then there'll be trouble" So that Blackpool Tower sized stem stack is on a very appropriately named bike.

Wiggle CRC Reported to be Bought by Frasers Group for Under £10 Million
@commental: That's true, I was assuming there were less than 10 people in the household.

But having 10 bikes didn't used to be the norm. That's been made more possible due to online retailers selling stuff barely at a profit, allowing you to own multiple bikes. Pull that supply plug, and of course that's unsustainable. Way back, you'd have one bike, maybe two bikes, and buy from your local bikeshop. I understand the world has changed, but now more than ever it's important to support your LBS. Direct to consumer brands selling bikes online aren't going to fix and service people's bikes on a day to day basis. Imagine needing a puncture fixing and waiting 5 days for it to be collected, fixed and sent back.

@nismo325: Might want to look up what the net migration figures to the UK are each year, that number is normal. Unless of course you're talking about refugees, in which case that figure is way off, so might want to look at facts again. Or, you can spout a comment that shows your opinions are easily influenced by dog whistle tactics from - let me guess - conservative supporting parties.

@Mtbdialed: Not sure what your point is here, I think we agree? I was saying that Ashley wouldn't do something unless it made him money, brand be damned. He's absolutely f*cked the image of Evans here, the place is a failing mess now, but he will personally be making money from it somehow In conclusion: I don't mourn Wiggle I do think Mike Ashley is a pri*k

@justanotherusername: GDPR rules seem to be incredibly vague at best, and mostly what the data is used for is set by the company collecting it. You're able to opt out, of course, but that doesn't have to be made particularly user friendly to do so. My wife works in marketing, and even she says the rules are mostly meaningless unless you're directly identifying people. Data is the new gold. Why do you think so many supermarkets have rewards apps and members card pricing? It's not about helping the customer...
