A friends is ordering parts for a bike manufacturer and told me the lead times are tow years at some parts. So I wonder how they will get parts for this bike if an established manufacturer can't get any. I bet they can't even get a shock for the frame set. The funny thing is not that they are no engineers, the funny thing is their horribel marketing since this is their profession!

NOX HeLIUM and Lapierre eZesty

Actually there is an anti-theft thingy available from the maker.

What a beauty! But she is also good looking.

Her name is Valli Höll (Hoell) I think! And Gwin usually is using seeding just for more training.

But what if it would be possible to use a light tire with it? 800g insted of 1200g, so it is just 100g increase! Why do I need a heavy DH tyre if puncture is no problem?

Dear author, I hear my dad talking about good old days, when they worked 24h a day and still had plenty of time for party. "Are our lives so busy?" A 40 h week is like holiday for me! And on weekends I take care of the kids, so my wife can work. Maybe I should stay home at all not disturbing your ride? "They're Fun..... snowmobile is a blast too" This is your comparison? Why you don't say: drugs are fun too? Bet you studied journalism! "Chasing the Dollar" This bad companies want to make money, who are they to think this is they way business is been done? " run-in with an elderly hiker while racing up the trail" We have some many e-bikes out there on the trail, hikers die every day. So we banned the hikers from the trails. Overall, this looks like a Donald Trump speech to me. Full of alternative facts!

I see folks on e-bikes every single day which I am 100% sure would spend there hole day on the couch when having no e-bike. And they are sweating and they are getting fit and they are supporting our sport. I am in sales and one easy calculation is, selling bigger volume is decreasing the price. So as more bikes are out there as cheaper the parts will get. I did a test ride day on an e-bike because I am lazy and was looking for strong assistance uphill. But I found out, the support is very small and I pushed the pedals as hard as usual. It is just normal if you pedal a bike that you use all the power you have, the difference is, on an e-bike you are faster on the top of the hill. The result of that day was, my average heart rate was higher than usual, because going uphill was more fun and you start pushing for more, especially on the technical climbs. I did three times more descending on one day and trails which were usually just for transition to the next DH were getting kind of descending feeling, even if they had a little rise.
