You guys are slipping
33K topics and over 800k posts in Singlespeed forum.
28k topics and 350k posts in Mountain Biking. Why has mountain biking failed to draw? To get off the negative and focus on the future, what must mountain biking do to lure the fixie demographic away from their beloved machines and get dirty? It's only a matter of time before the Fixed forum overtakes the Mechanics forum. This confirms my suspicion that working on your own bike was just a passing fad. :D |
We don't want to top those numbers, the mtb forum is exclusive and not to be compared. Shame on you.
Thread closed. |
no pete, no posts

well-meaning troll
Thanks. The post was a back door way for me to show my admiration for you guys. Not an insult all in the fixed-gear crowd, I've been riding one for ten years. It's nice to see a sport grow, but like a favorite trail that get's crowded, you kind miss the good old days when things were more intimate.

pot, beer, blah blah blah.

Are you saying you not being this year's prom queen doesn't lead you to question your sport?

You all know Pcad right? Check THIS out....:eek: |
If I had the time and inclination a zillion posts might be considered top of the heap of where to spend my time but.... rather than sifting through too much quantity and too little quality I'd rather be riding.

the fixie forum is so large because fixies and hipsters are hella popular nao. itll die down
|
Yeah, but it's like a ghost town around here the last few days.
|
Wow. And here I didn't realize it was a popularity contest. :rolleyes:

quality>quantity, no?

I am certainly not accusing myself of helping to improve its quality, by the by. :thumb: |

Are you laboring under the impression that the mtb forum is filled with quality posts?

I used to post a lot in here and in SS/FG, but I don't post in SS/FG at all anymore, and the mtn bike forum isn't holding my interest that much. Maybe too many "how much is this worth", "I broke ____ today", "best bike for some ridiculously low sum of money" threads. SS/FG went through some sort of purge a while back, and got a lot less interesting in the span of a few days. The Commuting forum is surprisingly lively, and things don't devolve or escalate, even during the steel vs. Al vs. carbon debates.

Mountain biking sucks.
