>so yeah, that bike specifically, looks to me like 200GS groupset, which is bottom tier.

100gs is bottom tier, but bottom tier of 90s mtb group is better than todays deore, rest of the bike is shite doe

>And which gets pushed harder. This or electric shifting? I expect to see more 1x road, if for no other reason than fucking SRAM.

SRAM pushes 1x since their FDs suck, but Shimano is the one that pushed electric first since their lever feel (STI or horizontal mounted shifter) has the worst and slowest feel compared to SRAM or Campagnolo.

Shimano is reliable above Alivio (utter dogshit at the low low end compared to very good SRAMs low end), but their stuff simply doesnt have soul. Even Shimanos famous mtb hydros are very reliable compared to SRAMs flimsy and faulty hydros, but when Avids work, they are a league above Shimano. Rest of the hydro brands like Formula are miles ahead of Shimano as well.

>here is what you can do with a 1x12 on pavement riding between trails (one of common excuses for why they need 3x9). You can easily sit around 35km/h with the gearing

NOONE rides a mtb with 35km average so 1x doesnt have a problem with range, its how it achives such a range compared to based 2x8 or 2x9...gaps are bigger, mass on the rear hub is bigger, front chainring is smaller which makes the chain less stable and less efficient, more crosschaining, thinner chains all tolerances need to be higher etc. Basically it adds a lot of manufacturing complexity to perform just as 2x mtb systems perform.

Also, if the bb clearance to ground allows that, you should always try getting slightly higher gearing range so you dont have to use the biggest sprocket, so lets say if 30x10 or 32x11 is max anyone can use on trail your front chaingring should be 34 or 36 to get the better chainline and chain tension. You can go 34 36 with a double and still keep low gear range but not with a 1x where running a 34 or 36 would reach the celining when climbing.

jokes aside, you havent overspent that much, cyclocomp isnt essention, 90gbp for running shoes is just total consooooomer tier, you can run in older shoes as long as they have thick soles. Its always wise to spend money on tools so kudos for that. helmet + clothes is in the limit, buy jackets in 2nd hands, I even find Assos there sometimes. SPDs, but uses, same for spd pedals if its out of your budget...until then pedal on decent old dmr pin flats, see there are ways to spend less or be in the budget

you shouldnt be a douche about not being a consooooomer as well, but its better to not be one in general.

>Without 29ers we wouldn't be rolling around on 27.5" today.

true, the 26" crowd callued out 29" as gay which it kind of is when you force it in mtb so they invented the idiotic 584 ISO, which is totally different than 559 and is a #gamechanger since 2cm wheel diameter change everything. bunch of fags.

>>1355571
>It makes sense when you consider the increased diameter gives you not only more gear inches, but allows rolling over of larger obstacles.

which all falls into water when you try steering it...

30.5" ? rolls better and ALL PROS USE IT!!!!!!!

>>1356162
>reduced size and weight along with being able to support higher radial loads (all tho a slight taper could be useful)

but dont needle bearings have bad lateral loads which is why they cant into hubs?

>>1354546
>So, now that the dust has settled, what is the co/n/sensus on 29ers? Was it just a fad?

honestly, the rigid steel 29" look extremly fun but rest of applications of 29" are abominations (exept maybe pure XC race bikes)

sure thing bill gates.
Im not expecting everyone do to every single bit of fix by themselves, but there is smth so gay and demasculinizing when people:

>buy a nice house with grass and pay someone else to cut grass
>buy a nice car and pay someone else to wax it on weekends
>buy a dentistomobile and pay someone else to measure the chain
>get kids and pay someone else to raise them
>get a wife and pay someone...

you get my point, EVERY cyclists should be capable of doing basic mechanics and being literate about the gear he owns - if you dont have that you are a faggot...which doesnt mean you have to do them all the time, but without basic knowledge your technology taste will definelty be shit.

>Think about the priorities. Weather seal isn't an issue on the track.

But arent 3 piece cup and cone less stiff than hollowtech or some other 2 piece systems? And why cup and cone is it more smooth than sealed bearings? Im not talking about Keirin but UCI track races, are they regulated in using a 3 piece? Rest of theri bikes are high technology carbon, so what is the reason in using "outdated"?

>>1336741
>other than the fact that they're unnecessary

many racers sliced their legs and hands on chainrings in crashes, chainring guards prevent that and additionally prevent chain drop in crashes

mtb tires of today are another galaxy compared to 90s 1.95s, cant tell about road bike tire progression

>>1221079
>So tires above 3.0" are basicly a meme when you are 60 kg, but usefull when you are 90 kg.

I guess you can say that, but I rode some rediculous rocky and snowy uphills when I weighted areound 70kg, liek very technically uphill - and I know that most people are bad in technicall climbs since there some old trials tricks come in handy.

>>1221094
>2x on mtbs is such a meme

you cray cray. 2x allows for better chain tension on the descents (more chain on teeth) on mtb and fast downshits when that sharp climb pops out.
also, if fully when you dont run a clutch RD to allow better rear suspension, 2x behaves better since the RD is more tensioned most of the time so it doesnt flap around.

not to mention you dont have to pay for meme casettetes and can use stronger wider chains.

>Probably you haven't tried a dropper seatpost on a mountain bike then.

I didnt, but trails Ive ridder are long dh trails, if Gwin doesnt need a dropper, I also dont.
For more up-down trails, its helpful, but not for what I rode.

>How does the caliper having a longer reach make it weaker? The added length gives it a bigger mechanical advantage, it is elementary physics.

you must be kidding, longer reach means bigger leverage on the nut from the rim braking force.
That is why short reach calipers are so much stronger.

>>1204900
>longer reach ones tend to also have longer arms for the brake cable stop and nut, so it balances out

not where the power comes from in calipers (it would undermine modulation that way), its not a v-brake

Exactly. SRAM cant make a solid FD and sells overpriced casettesand chains to guillable consumers in ored to create a new descipline of chainless DH (due to chain brakes).

>>1119580

I hate them with a passion, middle ring is overworked on tripples and chainline ius often bad.
