Is the inflated Bike market finally crashing?

Oddly, 1% matters quite a bit. A corporation that improves its gross margin 1% would get a big pop in its equity valuation after that information became public. A 1% reduction in SG&A expenses (aka: "everything else") is almost as valuable. Any public company would disclose the detailed information in its "Restructuring" footnote to its 10-K filing. Those footnotes make relatively interesting reading, if you are into financial statements. Then again, who isn't?

I only know that the sign a Company is on its last leg is when it's run by accountants.

We’ll wait and see? The new owner seems more legit than the previous owner. That owner also ran Mavic into the ground so they were just dumb. There was a moment in time where every bike out there had a Mavic wheelset.

Ive started to notice mavic again, are they worth another shot?

In general I try to stay away from things with too many proprietary parts. Hubs will always have special parts but spokes and nipples I like to be able to snag anywhere.

I kinda forget that is the main reason I went away from then. After seeing Halter's stock of 40 different types of spokes just for mavic...
 
I suppose that is something I've gotten used to with all of the Industry 9 wheelsets I have. At least I9 give you a couple of spare spokes when you buy a set of wheels.

Which reminds me I still need to replace the broken spoke in my original aluminum rim rear Grade wheel.

That is also a big reason I have no desire to switch to any bike that runs a mullet setup. I own an embarrassing number 29er boost wheelsets.
