>>1243780>mfw the gravelmeme is everyone finally seeing the XO-1's brilliant light. I think that he's already been vindicated to an extent, although gravel as it is now is full of the same roadist bullshit that drove a lot of people away from roadies in the first place. He's not wrong about disc brakes, either. He's talked up their benefits, but he doesn't like the additional stresses that they put on various parts of the frame, which is kinda weird because Rivs are overbuilt as fuck anyway. God forbid he gets a repeat customer when their frame cracks in 25 years instead of 30.
>>1244188dude just wears what he's comfy in, and he doesn't do hard extended rides.
