As my grad school supervisor used to say. Always study A question, and not THE question... if you answer everything with one study, you'll be out of work pretty quickly... The electronics industry has this dialed in, cycling has only really started to get wise to this in the last couple of decades...

"Poorly" that's how it works. Bike marketing is years behind the curve. Cycling in general is the prototypical "small fortune" industry.

Liked the part about "came out with 27.5, basically the same as 26 but nobody noticed." Indeed.

the Tractor tires/fat bike thing got me for sure, since that was my thought when I first saw a fat bike many years ago...

I thought you knew what the original video was about; it's been around a lot longer than Pres or candidate Trump I think.

Ah, apologies. I thought that was legit. Don't speak the language so couldn't tell.

Hahaha! Awesome - best post I've read in a while. Fortunately, I'm still rocking the 26" cable brake MTB, 14 year old road bike & TT bike (all of them aluminum albeit with 11 speed).
