That’s brilliant!!
no.. i pointed out that pete is ignoring reality... after pointing out reality.
feel free to misinterpret that in any way you want.
the post he quoted was directed at CyclingMTB, and addressing the posted misconception that going 1x LIMITED drops.. the opposite is true.
only with the use of anti-drop parts does 1 x _ become consistently rideable in rough off road situations.
he said "modern".. with no constraining time frame, whatsoever.... then shifted to bash guards for XC bikes.
"Modern bikes:" can extend clear back to the first pneumatic tires, or the first multi-geared bikes, or ones with derailleurs, or.. well, you get the picture by now, i'd hope.
i will not be wasting any more time on this pointless subthread.
not mad, just not wasting my time.
do look up WHY and HOW chains drop... it's a real snake dance to watch.
