Push Industries Releases Nine.One Inverted Fork
@TurboDonuts: If you look at the parts page for Z1 forks on the Fox site (under Tech Help), they do list an update to 2024. Grip2 and Grip dampers will be getting some internal changes. Mainly just valving and a slightly firmer spring rate for the IFP to reduce cavitation. This parts will be retrofittable, so getting the fork on sale still makes sense.

Review: Lewis LHT Ultimate Brakes - Clones or Contenders?
@onawalk: You're overall point about the govt not defining the people of the country is valid, and not just in China. I would say that's absolutely the case here in the US as well. The voice of most of the citizens isn't reflected in the govts actions. BUT.....Hope is actually credited with bringing the first MTB disc brake to market: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_Technology. At some point, someone IS the first to do something, and they should always be recognized as the innovator. Without the vision of a better/safer riding experience, rim brakes probably would've kept ruining our lives for much longer. Ian and Simon used their trade skills and applied them to a hobby, which turned into a successful business model. These companies deserve our support, because they are responsible for where we are today. This is coming from someone with 20 years professionally building, selling, and servicing high-end full-suspension MTB who owns and operates a shop. I keep bikes and forks from the 90's on my wall. We can only appreciate where we are if we know the history of how we got there. Having brands like Lewis isn't a bad thing, because it forces everyone else in the market to stay sharp/competitive. There will always be someone who analyses a market, cherry picks all the bits they think are the best, and rolls them together at a lower cost. Its almost like AI-driven bike parts.

But first press all your fingertips together, hold them under your nose, and take a deep breath. I really need to feel like you honestly believe the absolute bullshit you're about to spew out of your mouth if there's to be any chance of me buying your services.

Round Up: 13 Bike Industry Jobs Available Right Now
@RBalicious: I actually thought I was being conservative as I know a lot of people who spend much more. Granted I live in Issaquah where everything is expensive, but if you want organic/grass fed/etc its easily $200 a week for a 180lb athletic male.

Round Up: 13 Bike Industry Jobs Available Right Now
@vinay: Yes, living costs in desirable areas is very high in the US. Boulder is a very popular 'outdoorsy' town for skiing, mountain biking, etc. Most people will need $2K usd per month for rent/mortgage alone. If the company isn't covering health insurance then add another $4-600 depending on your health and coverage (no universal healthcare in the US). Colorado is widely spaced out, you have to drive a lot to get anywhere for said 'outdoorsy' fun so factor in average $200 per month for gas and car maintenance. Car + renters/home owners insurance roughly $200. Colorado is cold in the winter and warm in the summer so utilities will be pretty high depending on how well insulated your living space is, so factor at least $150 per month. If you're a cyclist and riding regularly, factor $800 for food unless you want to eat crap. Phone, internet, subscriptions, etc $100. That already adds up to more than the monthly takehome you'd get from the average of their advertised pay range. So you'd have zero left for doing any of the fun 'outdoorsy' stuff that is the whole motivation for living there in the first place. Considering that you are managing an entire brand(s), this seems low. Perhaps there is an incentive structure that they did not mention that rewards certain performance metrics.

2023 Pinkbike Awards: Innovation of the Year Nominees
@ultimatist: I'm open to belt drive if the tension can be maintained, but I'm in the PNW so conditions could be a factor. I'd like the option but not to be limited to it as my only choice. Belts work on Harleys, but dirt bikes run chains. Other big part of this is the potential for mass-acceptance of gearboxes in general if they can sort them out with proper shifting. If there's enough demand for this layout then other big players will have to look at integrating the drive and gearing as well, which could lead to general market demand for quality gearboxes on regular bikes.
