Sure, I could do research and come up with an answer but then why would I need this forum? Why would this forum even need to exist. Seldom do I see a topic come up that can't be answered through research. Sometimes I want to hear opinions from people and do not want to read a research report. When I see a thread asking which pedals or which saddle to buy, I might not respond because it has been answered a few million times. This forum is as much a social network as it is a research resource.
