The Age-Old Tech vs Flow Trail Debate
I really appreciated Kaz' comment on this. A modern geo 27-30lb 120/130mm bike is so versatile. Too many people going straight to 38's/Zebs, Dh casings, etc these days. Most people are over biked and not aware of what they are missing.

Fox CEO Steps Down After Lower Than Expected Financial Results
My theory is that the ebike boom shifted mindsets. Prior to ebikes, average mtb riders were chasing any type of performance gains they could get from components. Now, many of those riders know that upgrading components here and there won't make too much difference as they have motors and heavy bikes now. Less incentive to upgrade (for actual performance gains for your average rider). This is not a knock on eebs, just a theory I have.

@tiffe: the weather forecast is looking dry enough for the day. Actual weather this morning is fine too. (I can see that area from my house with binos, weather looking good.)

Where is Mountain Bike Culture Headed?
@mikekazimer: FWIW, I suspect if Ebikes weren't invented, the golf love would of been 51% less.
