>>990753I bought into the 29er meme and have comically long chainstays.
but really? I can't into the hip thrust.
Instead I bought clipless pedals and 29er+ rims/tires so I can look slightly down my nose at full-susfags while being secretly ashamed.
Also, I've kinda chickened out as I enter middle age. One of my neighbors permanently crippled himself on what amounts to a loca bunny hill and I haven't done much singletrack since. He hasn't talked about it, but I'm pretty sure I know the exact spot he wrecked. It's a simple double-tabletop, but it's also just slightly off-camber and just a little bit longer than what you can clean without cranking.
Like.. the guy is UNLUCKY to be alive, and it was just some scrub segment. I've been out to real mountains since and I have more fun with uphill tech anyway. So fuck bunnyhopping. I'll work on powerstroking.
