Who the hell thought those pie charts make more sense than a plain histogram?!

@brianpark: stature-wise, perhaps... Otherwise, yeah, its a tough search. Seriously though, I think humoristic pieces are becoming all too rare. With time I get the feeling the indusrry often takes itself a bit too seriously.

You guys desperately need to find someone equally silly, stat! Good luck, cuz that's a tall order.

+1 indeed!!

@SickEdit: huh?! A- im not talking about a single bike. I own several and its pretty much the same. B- I work part time at a shop, and I've got over 20 years of experience working on bikes, so trust me when I say my sample size isn't a single crooked frame :) Ask any mechanic with years of experience- stock bearings, especially from SRAM, aren't exactly well known for their reliability. Dont even get me started on GXP. C- even if the poor reliability is caused by frame alignment, the fact that it's so common begs the question- who's to blame? The frame manufacturers for not meeting the tolerances for the bottom bracket, or those who designed bottom brackets without accounting for typical frame alignment variability? I'd argue the latter makes more sense, although it might be a moot argument snyway. D- old cartridge sqaure/splined bb's had their issues, dont get me wrong. Bearings would get gritty and servicing was a PITA if even possible. However, from my experience, they didn't develop play as easily and usually lasted a couple of seasons before needing replacement. Maybe im romanticizing the past, but in any case, modern bb designs are a far cry from the huge gains in reliability which were promised by those touting the new standards.

I can tell you one thing- over the years, BB reliability has only become WORSE, despite all the marketing B.S about longevity of larger bearings!!! In the olden days of square internal bb, i wouldve replaced them every couple of years. Nowadays, im lucky if my shimanoGXP or seam DUB last a full year. In the past 3 years, I've had bottom brackets which lasted 2-3 months of mostly dry weekend riding!

I wanna like this video, the intention is good, but honestly - it was all over the place.

Dont care about results - you guys better not drop Thibaut for next year. His riding is so much fun to watch and he truly seems like a great dude. He'll get there, and seeing the process will make the series all that much better.

Yes, this series is so much better!

Can we route them internally through the headset????
