So what would happen if you put one of these in a @vorsprung Secus on your fork?

It looks like the exchange rates for the MSRP changed a lot between the two forks...

@progressioncycles: I agree that Rocky is one of the better examples of offering small parts and I have been grateful to get some from them to keep old rides running. I'd also like to see some ability to get frame parts like chainstays and swingarms too. With FOX I've had a different experience. I can put in the serial number for 8 year old products and get information albeit the parts are harder to come by. I'm impressed by the modularity and innovation of some of the aftermarket suspension service shops that can retrofit a lot of older FOX stuff - although the cost can start to approach replacement prices.

1) Obligate bicycle companies to make parts available for their bikes for up to ten years, the same as it is by law for automobile and motorcycle manufacturers in some countries. Having to chuck a frame because you can't get some $5 custom bushing anymore is wrong. 2) Standardize motor mounts. That way if and when one company fails or just fails to supply parts when needed riders can move over to another. This will also fall under see 1) above. I've gone on about this before but I think the Husqvarna Extreme Cross e-bikes with their universal adapter plates are the most future-proofed frame out there. I'm not as sure if the newer Mountain Cross ones also have the same feature still.

It's probably a lot easier for him to qualify for the Slovakian Olympic Team than if he was say, French, Swiss, German, Belgian, Canadian. British, American or any other country that has two or more riders ranked above 139th in the UCI rankings as that is the current highest ranked Slovakian.

It's the same reason they use brass wrenches in gas fitting - they don't spark so you won't accidentally ignite your tube sealant and blow up.

Isn't there an advent calendar coming up? We've all been good commenters this year, haven't we?

@bicycle019: It's not useful for OEM but I had an cobbler resole a pair of my 5.10 with vibram 7130 dot grip sheet and they are working well again.

Only if Pinkbike could have done a simple grip comparison test with say, a shoe, some weight and a workshop hanging scale. Even an board lifted on angle could have been used if the scale was too fancy to come by.

Anything that requires a battery.
