Actually considering the amount of bicycles and components that I have used since getting serious about cycling in the mid 70’s it is shocking the reliability I have experienced overall. At a beefy 6’ 3” I have always been in the Clydesdale category and even with this minimal issues overall. I cracked a couple of frames but it’s mostly been wheel issues over the years and even these have been bulletproof for the past decade or so. Premium bikes have been shockingly reliable for decades and these debates are bordering on ridiculous.
