>>1148211>you gave up on your dream of becoming an engineer and changed your major to feminist film studies?lol made me laugh
>>1148212Same.
>>1148217>...What's your point? So is indexed shifting on pretty much all derailleur drivetrains?.Read back what I said "The friction utilized to maintain this tension is not as secure or static as the ratcheting systems you see in modern day shifters."
Don't argue semantics.
> This is word salad, and makes no sense if you have any idea how derailleurs work. Also, come back to me and talk about "probability of hardware failure" after taking some STI shifters on a multi-month tour.No its not. Derailleurs are easy to understand. Already did multi month tour on STI shifters without one instance of failure. Of course, were both arguing about anecdotes now meaning that you don't have any valid response.
>C'mon, tell me how many feet you climbed last year.Around 180K feet of climb accounted, I did not log 1/3rd of all rides last year which easily bumps my total feet of climb to over 200K.
By the way, very strong argument. I'm sure that focusing on how many feet we climbed, our total mileage, our watts per pound, etc is really a good basis to determine who is right and who is wrong.
>Advocating for stem shifters, you've gotta be a troll.If you read what I had said you would understand why stems are preferred over bar end or down tube.
You're incredibly butthurt, you should probably ride your bike more and eliminate all that salt you have in your system.
