The whole world’s supply isn’t on that boat. I hoarded about three to five years’ worth for my 10 and 11 sp fleet in my toolbox back in 2019.
I wonder if they’d tried going fat and tubeless, they might get enough float to stay on top of the sandy bottom.

We need more fat bike memes around here. Especially if they are going to save the global transportation and bike shortage issues in the industry

I’m not even sure how to say croissant in an English accent.

“cro-sont” in murican English, but the “o” in “cro” is more of a shwa (ə) than a real “oh” sound.

Trailing consonants are somewhat silent in French - bagette => bag-et but trebuchet => tre-boosh-ay so I’ve always pronounced it something like “kwasohn” with the “n” a curious nasal or aspirate sound rather than a hard “n” as in “can”.

The only times I hear Americans approximating the French pronunciation are when they’re either making a joke, or about to be the butt of a joke
