That's not a flaw in my post, it's a flaw in your ability to use the English language to express your intended meaning.

Next time I'll put lots of stars and reference points in the post and then stipulate at the bottom exactly the extent to which I believe each statement and list all the possible exceptions.
if you could, big arrows highlighting key points also helps. I find exaggerating hand gestures work well in my presentations too.

I'll work on that lol

So a couple B answers, no A answers so far, Tom said "get fitter" (c?), Circe said "get another bike" (option d?), and BBLB said "get fitter but also buy better parts" (option f ?) lol

I'm B bro, the whole get fitter thing was me justifying B. I like reliable.

I was trying so hard not to comment on this, but I feel compelled now. I agree he is a complete moron when it comes to some of the shit he says and he is provoked easier than a child. That being said, he’s done and tried to do more for the country than presidents as of late. We’re almost independent on oil and he’s nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in the Middle East.

I appreciate your reasoned reply and objective view.

Being nominated for a nobel prize doesn’t mean shit, 318 other people were also nominated. Obama, the most recent president won a nobel peace prize, so if thats your judging criteria why is trump better than him just for being nominated?

Edit: I’m not trying to start a political fight, but a nobel prize nomination or win doesn’t make someone a good president.

So how about Atherton Bikes reaching their crowd funding goal in super quick time. Interesting to see what happens long term with them.

Steel is a very good material for drivetrains and will last longer than aluminum. Current steel options weigh more, which is unfortunate. If we allowed steel 'rings to cost as much as aluminum 'rings, the weight difference could be modest, as shown by Shimano's composite models and Ritchey's skeletal-looking road models from several years ago.

So much risk for so little certainty. This is not a smart investment. It may work out favourably, it just doesn't meet any criteria for being a sensible investment.

+1, shoutouts for being reasonable.

There's reasons people like him for sure. He's done a lot of good stuff during his presidency and a lot of people feel he speaks for them.

I hate that he took the US out of the Paris Climate agreement though and a lot of his behaviour is super poor. Not what you expect from POTUS.

You loose the weight game but win the burly game. The sram steel rings are freaking bullet proof on our rental fleet.

Wolftooth makes a sexy steel ring!

ANYONE who thinks Trump is the answer for this nation is a complete dumb@$$. And it’s scary how big his following is.

Anyone who can’t separate Trump from the real issues that face this nation is a deranged brainwashed TDS lunatic. You are one of them.

Unity is overrated... the US needs sustained liberty, not politically correct and socially acceptably unity. That's just an Orwellian fantasy, nazism with a new name. Sadly, society is too weak for liberty these days; liberty promises no safety and no shelter, only opportunity... and those too weak to work for their opportunity clamor for the "unity" offered by promises of free everything in a world where nothing is ever free. Liberty created the greatest nation the world has known, the misguided pursuit of unity will destroy it.

Civil War redux is gonna be lit though...

Where does slavery, The New Deal, Corporate Welfare, Wall Street Bailout, Gerrymandering, etc, etc, etc, fit into your "Liberty" narrative?

I’m not gonna sit here and tell you just how uninformed you really are but you prove my point entirely. Like I said, It’s sad and kinda scary just how many misguided souls follow this fat sack of crap.
