Not really sure how asking you to be more polite is childish but ok.

You also implied that the wheels weren’t good enough without saying anything remotely positive. It’s not hard to be a decent human being, try a little harder.

Better damper, brakes and a custom cockpit are a better upgrades than a blingy wheelset. Sweet bike.

I'd say you under estimate the impact of a good wheel upgrade!

I didn't mention your other post up so I'm not really sure where you're going with that.

You did yourself no favours a couple of weeks ago with how you acted on the other thread. Now numerous people (myself included) think you're an ass.

Picture this, your behaviour a couple of weeks ago now means you are in a hole in the ground. You have a ladder which is just tall enough so you can reach the edge of the hole and you can just about climb out. You also have a spade, if you use the spade to dig any deeper then the ladder will no longer be long enough for you to climb out. You are currently holding the spade and beginning to dig the hole even deeper. I strongly recommend you put the spade down and start to climb the ladder, a ladder which could quite possibly lead to people liking and respecting you on here.

Just be polite, just cause the rules say people should be prepared for negative opinions doesn't mean you have to give one.

No upgrade on a bike makes a bigger difference than going from typical stock wheels to a good wheelset.

Interesting point. I’d say suspension would be first. Although I did ride my friends new newmad with reserve wheels the other day and that thing accelerated and changed direction like nothing I’ve ridden.

A good quality wheelset does feel nice, but I prioritise suspension and view rims as semi disposable.

At this point, suspension is all so good it's not a big upgrade point unless it's broken... wheels still have a huge range of performance between basic and nice.

I know how y'all feel about wheelsets, but what's the consensus on grass vs other lawn alternatives?

Grass is for suckers.
