Trump backs down on most Tariffs for 90 days which reduces the Taiwan tariff to just 10%, down from the announced 32%. Meanwhile China Tariffs continue to increase.

This should give the bicycle industry a little relie, but for how long we don't know.

Trump institutes tariffs on all countries including a 32% tariff on Taiwan which is where the bicycle industry imports most of its products from. We are already dealing with high prices in the bicycle industry and this is likely to make it worse.

GCN points out the many benefits of having your bars higher. The misconception is that the lower the front end the faster a rider is. But this isn't necessarily the case. It's not always about being aero, there are other factors to consider.
