Ludicrously expensive bike stuff

Fox must have some good drugs. 50yr collection and prices are nuts. Shoes $430 the gloves which look good are $80. Fark.

POC prices ! I don't mind spending $50 on a pair of Gore that lasts 5+years but my recent Dharco 20 buck gloves for MTB are the way to go.

Yup, especially when Fox gloves have a rep of falling apart. Loam Wolf tested them and they came apart during their test.

Review: Fox Flexair 50th Limited Edition Gloves

The Fox Flexair 50th L.E Gloves are an item truly worthy of commemorating a 50-year anniversary, as the best feeling gloves I’ve ever tried.

Why do we need 'Limited Edition' gloved anyhow. Limited in that they probably made only 100k of them.

Same goes for other 'Limited Edition' mass produced stuff that usually has a different paint job or decals and not a lot else.

Don't know, I think I saw one of the companies who make these things saying you have to apply to buy the parts by sending a pic of your bike for them to judge if you're hip enough. lol

Hambini made an amusing video about one of those things.

Once you apply they know you have more money than sense. They will then send you more targeted ads for more overpriced rubbish :p

It's a fork cutter FAT. You use it to reduce the travel in your forks. You can accurately cut some off the bottom until you reach the desired length. This model is for Fat bikes.

I am pretty OCD about handlebar straightness but not to the extent of buying a $500-600 laser alignment tool.
