I generally agree with sentiment, but do we lay the same blame on the frame manufactures for not jumping straight from, say, a 70 to 65 HTA. On the component side, what about 32 to 36 stanchions?
Also a lot more complicated than simple hub width, as it’s a dance between frame and component design and then you bring in q factor and heal clearance.
And as some areas and components grow stiffer, others may need to change to catch up.
Has to be scary for a company to make the big jump, especially with how long things take to get to market.
