"This $280 SRAM Red rear derailer is a throw-away" (sporting a badly worn cage pivot shaft! and a broken return spring, rider thought his cable had broken).

Uh, first hit was on a Sram unit called Eagle, those of us cycling in the late 1960's and early 1970's might be inclined to avoid any derailleur named Eagle.

"I'm going back to 53/42 chainrings. I never really gone on with those new fangled wide ranging cassettes either, even if you live in the mountains and are old, you'll never need more than a 23/11 at the rear"

You can buy several different brands of new freewheels and quill stems, but both are obsolete. I don't actually know what the term "obsolete" means, but I use it anyway when referring to quill stems and freewheels.

I haven't spent time in the 3 speed thread but I 100% agree about appropriate application. I'm partial to dual leg rear wheel stands myself but I'm odd. Very odd...
