quotes Don't get me wrong... I am not defending Felt's actions in any way. Just stating the sad truth that in the world of innovation and design, you really can't trust anyone. New ideas are hard to come by these days. And while our laws may be imperfect, they are what they are, and as such, you need to think and act in ways to protect yourself and at times, outsmart your competition.

quotes No. What he's saying is "to have an interlectual property agreement in place ***before*** approaching companies with an idea". That's not hidsight. That's foresight.

quotes Not to say what Felt did was right (if these accusations are in fact accurate), but to play devil's advocate: if you're going to show the world a brand new suspension design without a patent at one of the world's largest bike shows, what do you expect is going to happen? Inventors need to take responsibility for protecting their own intellectual property. If you're smart enough to invent something like that, you should be smart enough to know how to protect yourself.

quotes That's about as insightful as saying "Sure, cars are fast on the road, but try driving them on WATER!"

quotes Is "Ministry of Decent" a typo? Or did they use the word "Decent" on purpose (as opposed to Descent)?

quotes My i2i is 10.5". The weight it's at is very good already. I was just surprised it wasn't lower.

quotes Sun has really upped their game in the last few years. The ADD Pro is a really pimp wheelset at a really great price.

Wow you really hold on to things. To think, you had your panties in a twist for that long. You must feel better now, lol. Let's move on to the pronounciation of your DH bike. I say MAkulu but Syd insists that the owner says it MIkulu. Thoughts?

Hmmm, was I having that conversation with you about how it or something similar was pronouced? I'm still gonna say it with less emphasis on the "i". We should have asked Lopes in Whistler how he says it.

Thanks. When I picked it up it was in the 215mm setting. After cleaning and lubing all the pivots, I set it in the 185 for the lower BB. Was thinking of trying the 215 and increasing sag. We'll see.
