Not sure if you’re being facetious, but here’s a few thoughts anyways:
A) it’s cool if you just love to ride bikes. For me, the ‘adult LEGO’ aspect is a huge part of what I love about mountain bikes. Love to fix them. Love to play with them. Love to challenge other rider’s perception of what is “good.”
B) My wee one and I have been playing bikes since she could sit up and hold a tool. We do projects just to see how things work all the time. Swapping back and forth friction thumbie v. indexed trigger isn’t even a one beer job but it’s still interesting in an adult-LEGO way.
C) I have three part-time gigs, my MEATengines passion project, and I’m the primary parent Monday-Friday through the school year. I can assure you, spare time is at a premium and trying out friction shifting is worth the small time & $$ investment. HAHAHAHAHAHA.
