Yeah, so many cases (heh) of obviously peer-pressured or ego-driven people who really shouldn't have sent that

Rose Bikes Stops Selling Bikes in the UK Due to Brake Lever Laws
A lot of people reckon it's just an excuse for not having stock or not being bothered with Brexit paperwork - they don't sell many bikes here anyway AFAIK

@MtbSince84: Well you gotta choose, if you want swords it's UK/Commonwealth/Japan and if you want whips it's North America/Europe/everywhere else really

@speed10: I think it's one of those things that only applies to bikes new in shops - pedal reflectors are also a legal requirement technically, but I've never heard of anyone being pulled over for lacking them - where would you mount them on SPDs anyway?

The same law (for levers the other side ofc) exists in the US too https://www.cpsc.gov/Business--Manufacturing/Business-Education/Business-Guidance/Bicycle-Requirements , it's just that normally a company putting levers on different sides for different countries is not difficult or newsworthy

@eh-steve: I will say that I've never had a problem remembering which shifter is which, and there's merits to bikes having commonality with motorbikes.
But ultimately I think there's no right answer, preferences just correlate with the side of the road you drive on, and which side you're used to is what has the biggest effect on what feels "right"

Field Test: 9 XC Bikes & the Grim Donut VS the Efficiency Test
I think the suspension could certainly help - I remember a few years back MBUK did a similar test on a technical climb, but controlling for weight and varying travel - so using a cheap hardtail, midrange trail bike and top flight enduro bike. The enduro bike was the clear winner due to grip and control

These Friday fails are slowly but surely growing my knowledge of multilingual swears, it can't be that much longer before "kurwa" becomes part of my regular vocabulary

1:37 reminds me of myself, pre-emptively groaning for a crash even when I end up riding it out
