@14:49 is the real reason our government wants us in EV's. Lord Elon himself explaining that totally solar cars are not possible. The whole green movement is just another grift being propped up by lobbyists to extract our money. Is climate change real? absolutely. Do we have an impact on climate change? yes. The real question is how big of an impact? how is it measured? All we see are people crying we need to do something about climate change right now! The earth has been around for 4.5 billion years the Industrial Revolution began 260 years ago, to believe we've had a significant enough impact to cause significant climate change in that amount of time seams ridiculous and most likely is. Currently the earth is greener than it has been and even greener than it was 20 years ago which is a good thing more trees more O2, trees are the natural air scrubbers of the planet yet we continually cut trees down for the sake of progress and money. Like @ATXZJ mentioned the earth has gone through many ice ages and many warm periods and will continue to so totally disregarding us. Every so often the earth turns into a blender resetting itself and eliminating most of the life on the planet in the process, we have no power or control over any of it. And if we did we would f**k that up as well.

My thoughts exactly. Nice bike for the price either way.

When I first saw this thread Costco had the Shimano version listed. GRX 2x.

As far as the gravel bike is concerned I personally would opt for the Shimano. I have a gravel bike with Sram Rival which is a step up from Apex and the function is just OK. I have another gravel bike with Shimano GRX and everything about how it operates is much better/smoother than Sram.

Nice to see you acting your age😆

That's awesome!

I think TV coverage will be the least of MTB racings problems. There's no need for coverage if there's no teams. So many sponsors have pulled the plug. Many riders with no future rides. When a rider like Danny Hart can't secure a ride things look pretty bleak. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/racing-rumours-a-complete-timeline-of-2024-team-moves.html

I think you'll really like that bike for the local trails. I love mine.

I don't think we need to worry about Discovery killing the sport it looks like the economy is doing it quicker. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/mondraker-steps-away-from-the-ms-racing-team.html Another sponsor bites the dust.

Hopefully. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/red-bull-unveils-2024-racing-calendar-and-coverage-plans.html

Another for good measure.

Super talented group of people here.
