The Science of Going Downhill Faster
I'm sure you absolutely right about the climbing. But I'm just curious, did any one ever think that gyroballs or spring-grips were actually a worthwhile way to work on grip strength? Dead-lift or chins. Look no further

Niner WFO-9: Review
I don't think i quite buy your analogies to the first bikes and cars Mr Cunningham! The first bikes resembled horses because the dude making them was trying to make a man-powered horse (hence the nick-name "hobby horse" ), and I'd wager the first cars looked like carraiges because dudes were similiarly thinking "hey, we can use this sweet new engine thingy to make carraiges go without a horse! friggen' sweet!" again hence the name.
I get your point that we may inject our new technologies into existing ones, but I don't think it is particularly to do with a propensity to stick to the familiar or the accepted, but simply that we haven't thought of it yet. Cars evolved from carriages, and bicycles from horses. Imaginations can only do so much all at once.

Ask Pinkbike Anything - DH vs. AM Bikes, One-By Rings And Tire Widths
1x10 fully makes a bike more versatile. You get rid of a whole lot of unnecessary double ups on ratios, saving a whole lot of weight which allows you to build up a burlier bike in other areas. Not to mention there's less to go wrong and maintain, as well as a simplified riding experience. I don't miss second and 3rd front chain rings at all. Sometimes things are fashionable for the sake of fashion, other times they're fashionable because they're just better.
