>>1467579>PLP is the path less pedaled YouTube channel.Oh him, that guy is a fratagonia douche. Total consumerist and does he even ride?
>I think SRAM has become associated with cringe hipster stuff because they came out with 1x mtb compatible drop bar levers and are the only game in town for a hipster without the technical knowledge to kludge something else who won't "settle" for a front doubledouble is literally god-sent to anyone, tripple has its place and ads some versatily but you spend 80% time in the middle and it sucks offroad and you loose a lot of ride quality since constant crosschain. I had a SRAM double and it works perfectly as long as you install a chaincatcher its really not that hard, its only +60g penalty or something. 1x is a total meme and an excuse to overspend, unless you are riding downhill
>>1467587>I respect Grant Peterson in a way for sticking to his guns and his elitism even though I disagree with a lot of what he doesI as well and I also respect Jan Heine, as pricey as his stuff is if you ride as much as he does its not overpriced but suitable for purpouse - he arrived to his riding style and equipment choice by experience and preferance unlike most douches that buy his stuff.
