>>1170477>I expect a backlash soon from every young person that started out getting memed though by wide tire drop bikes, or graduated to them from fixies. Surely these people will soon realise just how much better road bikes are. Dunno man, all of my road bike friends have n+1'd after taking a spin on one of my wide-tire do-it-all bikes.
Gotta-go-fast road bikes have their place but 35-45mm tires are C O M F Y
(Also, you can fit 35mm tires under some dual-pivot road calipers, and if you want to go wider but are philosophically opposed to using modern brakes for some godforsaken reason, there's nothing wrong with canti brakes)
