Review: Trickstuff Piccola C22 Brakes - Light, Powerful, & Pricey
@bman33: I was blown away by the Dominions, hard to think there could be a level of performance above that again. Maybe 500 was undercooking, but its not like they are selling 1000s of these things. Also a waiting list is great marketing. There is no better pub than the one with a queue outside it......

Review: Trickstuff Piccola C22 Brakes - Light, Powerful, & Pricey
I struggle to think how this company stays profitable, they must sell around 500 of these a year but thats only 500k revenue at maybe 250k profit. Surely that cant cover their overheads, and marketing spend and R&D etc especially when a customer is likely to not return for 3-4 years? Ive never met anyone that has ever bought a pair.

Rapha Releases New Trail Gore-Tex Pants
Best bet is to buy the Nukeproof Trail Pants as no trouser is ever going to be 100% waterproof with so many openings and moving parts, in the black friday you can pick up them, gloves, socks, and a jacket and still be less than this

Video: Jack Moir's Metal Monday Madness
@BiNARYBiKE: I didnt say the uphill was the fun part, just the bike is sold as a all round trail weapon. The video could have been on a Capra and still looked just as awesome

@TheBearDen: Would be the motivation I need to get up a hill anyway. Hardly listening to Mozart with a 180bpm!

UPDATE: Wiggle Enters Administration as Signa Sports United's Financial Troubles Continue
@HardtailHerold: Dont think it is this simple as they actually work for WiggleCRC, all their equipment and facilities and overheads are covered by them, as are marketing, sales, stock holding and orders. So even though NP is a small team, they rely on the WiggleCRC company for their success.

Video: The Biggest Crashes from the 2023 DH World Cup Season
It isnt fair that the only footage of some riders to be popularised is a crash when people are fighting for contracts and team placements. Outstanding skills and rewarding risks would be awesome to watch.
But also..I love Friday Fails

UPDATE: Nukeproof, Vitus, Chain Reaction Cycles & Wiggle Face Uncertainty as Parent Company in Financial Trouble
@SlikGraphics: No issue with Hill, big fan and followed him for years and years. Just moaning about surviving because he is out of contract vs the 1000s of employees on minimum wage potentially losing their jobs and will struggle to pay for next weeks shopping. Its a reality check.
