Slack Randoms: MTBs in Cybertrucks, Pizza Oven-Equipped eBikes, $925 Towel Skirts & More
Just want to say Tesla makes the best vehicles! Which means this will be downvoted and soon hidden.

Thought Experiment: How Good Could e-Bikes Get?
E-bikes will be amazing. I see in ~5 years e-bikes require minimal service (if any), full system integration, weight similar to existing bikes, and enough range for 95% of rides. We’ll just need more trails.
I’ve had that experience with Tesla for three years and it’s been great.

Final Results from Red Bull Rampage 2023
Brendan and Bienvenido- something doesn’t seem right with scores. Can we just let the riders ride without 000.00% judgment? Especially when the judges scoring don’t have direct experience doing a lot of the modern Rampage lines. Do advertisers need a winner to sell stuff? Does Rampage need a #1 rider to distill all the action into a story when the event is 4+ hours?
I remember the inspirational riders most.

Race ready. I'm the original owner, and have the purchase receipt. Bike runs great with no issues. I use to work at a Norco shop in the mid 2010s, and this was the first model year Norco really started going with "modern" design. Extremely well looked after before and after every ride from myself and bike shop friends. I have only gotten to ride a few times since moving to Michigan in 2019. Please inquire with any questions or additional photos. Check out Norco's website for more information but don't forget the suspension and brake upgrades (search 2017 Norco Range C9.2).
