Analog riders are the new kooky single speeders. If you think motors make riding too easy then please don’t do the math for how much mechanical advantage gears give you. There isn’t a lot of juice to squeeze from frames since we’re mainly hitting human rights issues on how good a frame can be while still being affordable. We’re still probably not paying the true price for bike when you factor in environmental and human effects of the manufacturing process. That’s where I see the biggest need for innovation.

maybe the wrong forum but I noticed Brook riding the EXT fork at hardline but when he posted his crash yesterday the bike has Boxxers on it ? Anyone know of hardline killed the EXT and he didn’t have a spare ?
