Comment: Fork Alignment & Friction in the Fox Podium Fork
@PUSH: Fair enough and we appreciate the transparency. However, if they (PB) are THAT interested in writing such a review or comparison, they could just buy one straight up. I'm sure there are ways to fit a mere 2-3k spending in a yearly budget.

100%! This article felt overall like a cry for help from Fox basically saying "hey see? it's not so bad! now go buy some please" PB is fcking shameless to pedle this BS.

First Ride: RockShox's New Reverb AXS is the Longest Dropper Post on the Market
@justanotherusername: practically every country in the EU is a consumer-based country. In other words, we like to buy stuff too. So why not allow us to get tax-free product from overseas?
I believe this extremely low limit was put in place in an attempt to combat people buying cheap stuff tax-free from Aliexpress or the likes. The truth is the ones who really get hurt are some of us buying quality products from the US.

@justanotherusername: $800 doesn't seem too minimis to me honestly, specially considering our threshold is at 22€.

@Howieday91: tariffs are paid when you import products, they are applied to the product msrp before tax. Again, buyer who is importing is paying the tariff.
Additionally, in the EU we pay sales tax on shipping from overseas, not just on the product. Yeah it’s wonderful isn’t it?
I can’t say I didn’t envy americans buying stuff at the german bike stores, without the 19%-21% vat, below $900 free of additional import duties. On the other hand, we buy anything over 20€ from overseas and we get shafted with 21% vat, plus tariff on the imported good/s, plus 50-70€ for the manipulation/import process.
Regardless of political views, this exchange doesn’t seem fair.

Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Signs 5-Year Partnership with Leogang for World Cup Racing
@werewolflotion: or not. Knowing you’ve secured business for the next 5 years you can lay back and enjoy. On the contrary, you might have to impress the client in order to attract it and secure next year, which keeps in sharp every year.
It’s like a rider in a contract year, they have that extra spark.
