This week I bought a pair of xt disc brakes.
They cost £120.
I reckon that's ace.
21 year's ago my knee's didn't hurt when it's cold and damp 😕 but now I have knee warmers! So agreed modern biking is ace 👍
Yep, what was considered light and strong back in the day was really just cheese compared to now, 160mm bikes you can happily ride all day up and down anything you like is brilliant. Compromise has left the building with a lot of stuff these days.
As timely as ever the EWS are racing down one of the "freeride" trails from Kranked 2 this weekend
Meh. 21 years ago my bike had 21 gears. Now it only has 12. Still gripshift too...
21 years ago my bike had 21 gears - it still does, although they aren't the same gears. The only original bits on it are the frame, crank arms, front mech and about 85% of the bars, which I've shortened. I also have three others now and an extensive collection of bits.
