I look at this bike, and I have to wonder if this guy is spending his money on the right things.

Kashima, X01, Renthal...and then 1900 series wheels, which are potentially the worst wheels I have encountered in ages. Those rear straight pull 370 hubs are exploding left right and center. The internals and hubshell blow up all at one time. Absolute garbage product from DT Swiss.

Fauxkeh, I like this term.

And you are right, it is brutal.

*it’s not my bike. It belongs to Jane back there, she just lets me use it for walks (runs)

Recently updated:
- 51mm 150 Pike RC => 42mm 150 Lyrik RC
- 11 Speed Shimano SLX/TRS+ => 12 Speed GX Eagle
- 29 DTS M1900 Spline wheels => E13 LG1+ EN mullet wheelset

Go anywhere do pretty much anything machine. With the mullet setup the BB is crazy low, so I really need to swap out the 175mm cranks, looking at some 160mm cranks.

It's often called portrait mode on phones. Normal DSLR cameras have shallower depths of field than phone cameras. This produces the blur in the background called bokeh. Phones try and replicate it to varying degrees of success in software and it almost never turns out well on bicycles. JFE combined the word faux and bokeh to describe this fact.
