• Are we seeing the rise of the 2x 1x? I’ve seen a couple irl recently as well.

  • "Like most of Benedict’s bikes, it utilizes a manual bail-out front shifter to keep things simple. He also added an extra outer ring to work as a bash guard. A grip shift-actuated rear mech throws from a 10-50t range for when the going gets tougher."

    Not sure why you wouldn't fit an actual bash guard but hey, reduce, reuse, recycle.

  • Well he also said this

    I have a lot of bikes, and most of them are pretty redundant. They are
    all mostly for touring and are rusty, olde, hacked, and only work if I
    ride them. “Oh the front mech won’t work? just kick it a little,”
    stuff like that.

    This seems like a very Bachelor of Arts way to say 'A triple.'
