Great thread this haha bloody love this forum!

Sorry what does cabbageheads mean?

I was going for a variation on turnip head, seems close enough. Unless this is a secret gardening thread.

noun. 1derogatory A dull-witted or foolish person. 2The head formed by the unexpanded leaves of a cabbage.

It could have mutated or gone off on a tangent so both are plausible.

OP, Stick to road bikes.

Throw your insults below.

Roadie…

Ooh….thats just nasty!

Regarding the constant stops, it depends on the type of riding. If I’m with my group and we are doing particular single track tech descents, we’ll meet at the bottom and agree how slow we all were. However, I like to ride for fitness, so will go out myself and do a flat out XC for 20miles, which has no rest stops obvs.

Regarding Droppers, I love mine and being 6’4″ find I need them more than most. I would use it constantly on the tech descents, but never on the XC circuits.
