@pandafoo: "priced in", is such an interesting way of wording "costs passed on to customers, disguised as a convenience." There are a large number of brands that offer lifetime repairs: REI, LL bean, Columbia etc. Ultimately, they couldn't make their business work even with Old Fort wages.

@Untgrad: sorry, everyone keeps telling me to stop drinking but I refuse to listen.

@cmi85: .... What do you mean, say you want the new SRAM stuff. You go get UDH frame and the new SRAM transition.... first dub: you literally need a whole new bike to bolt the new SRAM stuff on. Second win: You spend $2500 for the shifter, derailer, cassette, chain, and cranks, yes wait two weeks to check that price. You can buy a complete full-suspension bike for the same cost as the drive system alone. In releasing their new drive train they also phase out their older, widely compatible components forcing consumers to make changes or work with products that are considered obsolete by the brand and no longer offer support for. Then, you go on your first ride and obviously smack the new drivetrain into a tree. But it turns out that the UDH setup is so strong it rips out of the frame leaving the transition fully intact. So here's how SRAM really wins: You the consumer looks like a complete assclown for being a part of the extremely small group of rich assholes who spend their money on dumb products that require batteries for essential function at your local trailhead. Just don't forget you're better than everyone else because you have e-cockpit on your not electric bike!!

And even after going in the red for the year in revenue, Go Pro stayed in the green with what's that...... mmm the classic stock buyback maneuver. When will the stock value based bonuses end

Stevie Smith?

Yeahhhhhh June 1st!! nice first sentence typo

@OregonTrailBikes: False, @numerik since 2021 DHSE has become a full USAC sanctioned and essentially controlled race series. I got 4 uci points this past summer for my top ten at snowshoe!

Did you consider that commencal is THE alloy bike brand before you thought.... "why not carbon"..... when commencal has been thinking.... "never carbon"
