Oh dear…
Some people really do overthink things, just ride the bloody bike!
What did people do years ago before all these different wheels sizes, tyre choices and bar widths etc.. Oh wait a minute, they just rode the bike.
I will continue to do this and will not be become a marketing mans dream by buying the latest new fad or hyped up product. I ride 26″ wheels, clipped in, wear the same biking gear I have had for ages (not gore this or endura that), I buy the same tyres I have ran for years because they work for me, no idea how wide my bars are and I manage to work out what I needed for 1×10 all by myself about 5 years ago.. I must be a guru or something! And I’m yet to die on a bike ride.
Oh and I don’t carry a rucksack weighing about 18lbs.. Come to think of it I’m suprised I have survived for so long as I’m vastly under prepaired.. I need to do some research into what I can blow a huge amount of money on and see no real benefit now!
