Genuine Q: Why would you choose a carbon mudguard over a cheapy plastic one? They look flipping cool but I think I'd prefer something less stiff for when the inevitable stone or twig gets caught and sends you OTB.

Also, those crown mount guards don't seem to offer any protection to the seals/stanchions which is the main part of having a guard IMO

That does look pretty shitty!

Rollers and CX races FTW.

Turbo training FTP.

Take your pick.

:'-( That's full Insta bling over practicalities there!

I'll ever have my head turned enough by XT to spend the extra

For me the shifter with its 2-way release etc is worth paying more for but that's it. SLX (even Deore) is the way to go with an XT shifter for the clever money

I agree with this. I buy XT but apart from saving a few grams and a better shifter mechanism, I know it is for vanity over Deore/SLX.

@ao1989 yes, SRAM is plasticky and doesn't shift as well, especially for the lower level groupsets. I think it was only so popular because it had an extra sprocket

Best? XTR

Best value? Deore

Those Klunker guys sure were clever!

You paid how much for a 50 year old tread design ?!

I'll take #2 please

I probably change my rear tyre on my MTBs every few months and will top up the front then if it's not being changed.

Road/CX every three months if I remember...

For MTB tyres, I'll use 60ml

Road, 30ml to seal then 15-20 when topping up

CX, 30 to seal then 20-30 when topping up

Classic. Have you ever had it serviced?

It's a very popular finish with Cole Coatings right now

Which mini Vs did you go for?

He might be able to win at the Tour of Britain? Rest of the world doesn't really give a shit about a 2.HC and the stages haven't been set so maybe they will make it more realistic for him

Is 37 old enough to identify as a MAMIL yet?

That is far too much sense for this thread.

Love that slalom!

True dat!

Rapha jumped on board pretty early though, no?

Only if you want to

That is an extremely important point. Don't forget the effect of crank length too
