    This is what's wrong with The Industry™

    Jesus Christ, it didnt take long for this to become a pendantic debate about meaningless bullshit. as it should. I am happy to be able to lurk less and post more, in between my busy schedule of skidding ebikes and drinking whiskey.

    2024 racing thread

    Its a testament to how long of a run it was that folks are more shocked that its over than that it went on for that long. In that timeframe, social media was invented and the echo chamber is louder than ever. over those years the team roster has changed a lot, like everything else in the world.

    Are We Witnessing the Death of Self-Powered Cycling?

    this is a rambling thread under a provocative subject, but fuck it: i'll give my .02 from my perspective. i didn't ride ebikes very much, and during the development of the latest SC Heckler, I did a few trips with people I work with and try them out. Early rides were basically shuttle...

    6061/6063 welding question

    I don't believe its any of the above, as the heat that goes into the material during welding does not create a standard designation, as its not consistently applied across the material. You don't get a good solution heat treat unless you control both the precise temperature and time the...

    Highest Quality Carbon Frames?

    I really don't care who makes it, I care about the end result being consistently high quality and robust. Control, while potentially a good thing, doesn't provide any guarantee of quality. I'm for on-shore manufacturing if it lends itself to high quality bikes for riders within a competitive...

    Highest Quality Carbon Frames?

    I have some obvious biases here, but I will chime in w/ this: 1. Santa Cruz is the only MTB company I know of that has invested in their own composite manufacturing facility in Asia. We founded this composites company with partners, but since Day 1(~2012) its been our place - was completely...

    Pole Bikes hates Ridemonkey

    the only thing worse than gluing two halves of a bike together would be to machine the halves from billet, ensuring there is no preferential working of the material to have grain structure. Top it all off putting all the shock force perpendicular to a tiny top tube. Pole's PR strategy is like...
