Definitely not toxic tribalism

Welcome to the new thread where you can trash other people’s opinions. 

Hot topics are feeling a difference in brake levers, suspension kinematics and reach. 

Have at it, but keep it here and out of the pinned forums. Boost your ego here instead!

Getting worked up over the sanctity of the pinned threads is a waste of time

Can’t stand riding 220 rotors upfront anymore. My 223 are way stronger.

Speaking of standards, can we PUHLEASE get standard dimensions on carry out containers? It's tiresome to have to hunt for the right lid to stash leftovers in.

Ebikes are only for older folks and people with physical disabilities that would otherwise limit their riding.

Air springs can get in the sea

This is not a rant but rather an appreciation post for the kind of subtle yet devastating insults the greater UK populace is capable of, like this one here. As an American if I tried to pull this off it'd sound weak as hell

Something that also doesn't translate well across the Atlantic is our use of highly offensive words as terms of endearment: in Scotland, if you think highly of someone, it is more than acceptable to describe them as a "good c**t". 

Unlike a bike company executive who signed off on headset cable routing, who may instead be referred to as a "bit of a c**t". Context is everything.

Flight Attendant doesn't belong on bikes with less than 150mm travel.

Hubs with ridiculously high numbers of engagement points suck, and they always break

There are several bike brands that I would consider buying from if they ditched Superboost.

Shimano making their brake clamps part of the lever instead of making it a replaceable part is worse than the wandering bite point. Keeping it loose enough to move during a crash doesn't always work and now I have to buy an entire new lever? c'mon

Pivot?
Evil?
Knolly?
Devinci?

All bikes I'd consider if not for superboost.

Any other brands I should know to place on the "bad decision" pile?
