Why do drop bar road fags get so triggered by big CX bikes?

Sometimes a guy rides with my friends and I on his cx bike and he starts running out of gears on the descents but that's about all that's different really I don't understand the point of this thread to be entirely honest.

You made a greentext thread, he didn't. One of you is clearly triggered here, and it's not roadies

Since both issues are unrelated I assume he's right and it actually is slowing you down, and the punctures bit is just you trying to justify your purchase

Why do you make broad generalizations based on an extremely limited sample size?

I've never owned a cyclocross bike and probably never will but I have zero reaction to them other than "oh, he's a CX rider".

Now, can we talk about why you had to make a whole thread about just complaining about this?

I am fluent in English and this post doesn't make any sense.

Probably because that doesn't actually happen and he's sick of having to ride at 10 mph so you can keep up.

I run out of gears on my cx bike in flats if there's a good tail wind. But even that could be easily fixed with a larger chainring.

I think he’s got something like a 46/34 because he only starts peeling out of the line when we start getting up to about 32-35 mph. We just laugh and ask how his cadence drills are going when he latches back on, it’s all good banter.

What's even the difference? CX bikes still seem catastrophically mismatched for going across the countryside. Barely any better than a road bike.

XC is obviously the master race for what you faggots are riding.

It makes perfect sense. You have to go back.
