There's not even a good amount of tech/component talk either. It's a weird place.
Also I'd like to note that I wear spandex and like carbon stuff. Just not like those guys.

At work and at home I have the 33 and the 178 open in my browser all the time. I venture into the 41 occasionally, but mainly to amuse myself.
Racing aside, the 33 is basically a place where people are like-minded, generally experienced and sensible and like talking about riding and training more than obsessing/arguing over the minutia of equipment and component selection.
We also have much non-cycling conversation as well. We have:
twitter feed (now renamed)
eating status
weight loss status
music status
alcohol status
caffeine status
geek status
ect.
The people that I hang out with off the bike are generally more like 178 users. SS/FG is how I started riding (and continue to ride) so I relate more here than to people in the 41. I started riding road and racing road about the same time in college.

it occasionally has really good threads, some troll threads, but it is mostly boring crap with people being armchair engineers and others asking how to be a serious cyclist. I spent most of my time reading there when I joined BF :-/ C&V is pretty good
same

Why? Cause it doesn't matter and no one cares.

some of the regular posters there don't even ride anymore/atm, let alone race
also people outside of the 33 (esp 41) seem to take racing more seriously, which is weird.
most of us realize after 3-4 years in the game that we will never make a living doing this; it's about fun, healthy competition.
