The few MTB ones seemed even less positive, particularly if relatively
small and high end ie carbon which is labour intensive.

Not sure certainly in the Bike industry that it needs America? Is SRAM and
some of the bike companies that started with MTB, but in terms of bikes
made and parts for them?

Case in point our club kit manufacturers just changed suppliers ie no
longer using a US company.

Can’t see this ending well a recession seems inevitable certainly for the
US at least, and unlike last times other countries where allies, so isn’t
much incentive to bargain etc.
