Anyone know what's going on at Cassette? I haven't heard anything about them for awhile and, as far as I know, no new decks announced for 2006. Are they going out of business? If so, that would be a real shame.

Davey boy, it certainly isn't looking good, is it? But there may be plenty going on we don't know about. One thing for sure is, losing Reed & Hampson is certainly a head scratcher.

Yeah, they went out of business.

They're bi-levels kept on breaking. And the warranty on those boards causeed Cassette to replace them SO much, it put them out, atleast for now. But I doubt they'll be back. Who knows....

I don't think that Cassette is going out of biz. I too have seen many pics of Reed Hansen riding a bi-level. Theres' obviously been some troubles, but they'll come through for sure.

Yes they did go out of business. Thats why all of their team left and went to other teams.

yeah i heard that the owner didnt want cassette to become a big company
but then his riders got better they came out with new product and other things
it sounded odd to me at first but think how many cassette ads have you seen(i havent seen many)
