He only mentioned the Mexico stuff in his pre-election speech (probably because there were recent announcements.) With a few exceptions, components come from many countries (many not mfg'd in Deere facility). There are a few tractors that are imported from Germany. Most full machines are for...

Reference my post #18: we were asked for % US content. No one ever asked where the rest came from. Things may have changed since I did it ~16 years ago.

That was pretty negative! He campaigned on 60% China, 20% eveywhere else; I don't doubt those numbers. Also has threatened a few US companies directly with heavy tariffs on stuff moved to Mexico for manufacture. I recall him saying Deere Tractors; either he mis-spoke or just wanted to sound...

I agree. I was a member of the team that determined "content %" for US government and export sales. Don't recall who wanted which way, but I recall % by $ and % by weight. I also remember Manufactured in USA and Assembled in USA terminology.

Lots of countries in Asia besides China. Do you think a Netherland mfg'd bike will get China tarriffs applied to it when imported to US if it has China purchased components?

Some really quick searching indicates this will be a bigger problem for less expensive brands (China as a supplier); which is the intent of higher tariffs on Chinese products. I don't see it as an issue for Gazelle. I just looked at components for the electrical system for our van I'm buying...

#1 buy american whenever possible #2 on another forum, a member was a clothing importer (Russia) and described what a 10% tariff would mean to consumers; basically nothing. He indicated a ~25% tarrif would force him to increase prices. Basically on higher margin items, importers would eat the...

I make my step-through look more masculine by riding it. Never have had that comment; but my wife would kick the crap out of anyone that said it.

Click.

The string title implies there is a connection to our election; there isn't. Do you post "click bait" on YouTube also?

I have 2 of these that I use to transport our bikes in the van...

No need to dismantle the wall; easy-peasy, happy trails!

What am I missing in the article? What is the connection to the strings' title?

My apologies, I thought what happened was humorous.

Some negative reactions to my congratulations post. You do realize candidates from all parties had success. Civility is a good thing. (Almost as good as a Republican (soon to be) trifecta)

Congratulations to all the 2024 election winners [mic drop]!

I take one of these off the stack stored in the garage; no specialty airing up seat needed.

My son and granddaughter us Strava. They both mountain bike compete so use it daily to watch progress. Cool idea tracking trips. We hike a lot but track on Polar Beat to record activity in Fitness Pal where we track nutrition and health info. i could see using it as bragging rights back in...

I have a belt now. In the past, I have never replaced a chain that I recall. The ebike is the 4th bike I've owned in 50 adult years. I'd guess the highest mileage was the touring bike that did RAGBRI and pre-conditioning twice; finally donated it a few years ago. I'd bet it had less than 5K...
