Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Fact is, that probably 90% of the threads wouldn't exist if everyone invested the time and effort to look up prior ones. But if everyone looked up instead of posting, the number of threads would dwindle. Less new threads, means less posts and less views. Since BF depends on ad revenue, the last thing they need is everyone being diligent and looking stuff up, or responders staying 100% on point and not adding their 2 cents once the question is answered. it certainly doesn't need people veering off on tangents and generating tons of views of stuff that doesn't matter.

So, next time someone asks a really stupid question, or stirs up needless controversy, thank them for doing their part to keep this forum alive and interesting.
