Haven't we been educated enough now to know frame weight means fuck all to 99% of cyclists?

Don't buy press fit bearing bikes. If people stop buying them, they'll stop making them.

One of Hambini's episodes addresses this - his conclusion is that press-fit is better than screw in, but only if it's made properly for e.g. Look (which seems to be the only brand he likes the manufacturing of).

Yeah, but it's not made properly and it's not worked on properly so it's not better and it's unlikely to ever be better. Threaded also gives you the advantage of being able to fix a manufacturer fuckup, whereas press fit does not. Basically, Hambini is a fuckwit and I'm right.
Am I doing it right?
