>>1944374No it won't. 1x is an improvement with no downsides for MTBs. No one but poorfags and retrogrouches want 2x.
>>1944566>>1946285You know you don't have to replace the old stuff just because they make newer stuff? You can still EASILY find replacement parts for rim brakes and mechanical shifting down multiple generations. Because bike brands just turn the previous generation top model into bargain bin parts with cheaper materials. Otherwise it's the exact same just a bit heavier. It only becomes problem for museum pieces but those don't get ridden anyway.

And no, literally no one will nag to you about saddlebags. Hasn't for a decade at least. Unless it's touring tier bag and you're carrying with you stuff you don't really need. And even then it's probably more curiosity than nagging.
