@AFunFox: yeah like just imagine a mass start race up to the top of Mt St Anne via the access road and then down the dh track.

I'd watch E-bike racing if it was a mass start format and the climb was up an access road and down a dh track for laps. THAT would be entertaining.

@Bro-LanDog: OK so a Billet is just an alloy that has been extruded into a bar or tube. You can find this stuff easily at any metal supplier usually in 6000 series off the shelf. Forgings are pressed into a rough shape of the finished part and can be of any alloy. They are generally much stronger because of the immense pressure used to make them. They are also $$$ and have to be ordered in greater quantities generally. Cast is just molten metal poured into a mold and cooled. Low end crap usually.

@chrod: and Race Face back in the day. When I worked there in the late 90s we would get forgings delivered that were the rough shape of cranks. We'd have to manually straighten them to within a tolerance so the machine could hold them and then they would get machined.

@schlayer: I'm amazed you were able to find the time during your 3km 100m single lap of SFU to write that comment
