I've been riding MTB since '89, I''ve seen A WHOLE LOT of "trendy-tech" stuff (remember bio-pace?), In 2000 I switched to full time single-speed bikes (I'm not saying that everyone has to do that), after 13 years as a SS rider I'm absolutely convinced that my way is what makes happier. This discussion is clearly one way or another make someone richer, and I mean the MTB industry, which is OK, but what I've seen in all these long years is that no matter what I put on my bike, what I really enjoy is going for a ride as often as I can, so as an old dog I don't care much about what new (hot) tech is someone trying to sell, instead I care a lot about the existence of this kind of discussion, when is clearly a matter of taste or need or whatever floats your boat...Point is, one can loose the meaning of "having fun" if the only thought is what nice new gadget (or technology) is available to buy.
