Ok, seriously, we need public healthcare. Right now with the expiration of subsidies it should be clear to anyone who can do basic math that what we're subsidizing is insurance company profit. It's not subsidizing healthcare. If we put the same amount of money toward the public option, we win.

Fact! Great seeing you out there!

The response should be succinct and to the point. And it should start with Go and end with Fuck Yourself.

Trump is temporary. Reputation is much less so.

I mean... You don't really need suspension for jumps either, if you've got the skill ;)

Yeah, most XC single track here in CA doesn't require rear suspension either, but it is getting chunkier every year, so I get it... but my XC bike is front suspension only

I mean, it's just an xc bike with skinnier tires and drop bars... If I'm riding XC, why wouldn't I want an XC bike, and if I'm riding gravel, why do I need suspension?

But.... Why? There are XC bikes that are much better for the purpose.... With better suspension

Full suspension gravel bike by Trek

We're getting absurd here, folks... #bikesky

Full suspension gravel??
With a 90s paint scheme? Might as well take an old FS bike and ride that...

Shame on Giant, if true. This does beg the question, since a lot of bike mfg's are in Taiwan, how widespread is this problem? #bikesky

And yes, that's on a 2000 Factory Schwinn Homegrown, best hardtail ever produced in the US. That bike is old enough to rent a car, and still rocks. I have the same groupset on several other bikes, and just as solid.

Ok, with all the new groupsets coming out, I have to take a stand. The absolute best, sexiest groupset to ever grace the land of cycling is the 950/952 XTR. Yes, I said it, and I mean it. Have at me #bikesky. 3X9, bulletproof, instantly tuneable, pinnacle of tech. Outlast any modern group. Perfect.
