he is not a good mechanic/doesent want pay for a good mechanic
he clearly hasnt used electronic groupsets ;)
My story goes like this;
shitty £150 MTB > dabble in 'hybrid' bikes (oh god what was I thinking!) > steel langster SS > Planet X CX geared > first serious road bike > first fixed bike (langster alu) > first expensive fixed bike > Motorbike (Bandit 600cc) > sell road bike and JUST have fixed bike(s) and motorbike > back to road bike with fixed bike on side > Electronic shifting and hydraulic disc brakes
I get what he is saying, I have had those frustrating moments when things dont work smoothly and then getting back to ss/fixed thinking how simple is this! But since then I have learned about gears and mechanics and dont (or rarely) have those frustrating moments.
Doesent mean I hated it, it was just me being thick.
so my first stab against #deathtoroadies
