Thank you for this editorial. Persistent standards should indeed be celebrated as much as useless new standards should be denounced.
We have 4 mtb in our garage:
\- 3 rear hub spacings,
\- 2 freehub standards,
\- 2 front hub spacings,
\- 3 wheel sizes,
\- 2 steer tube standards,
\- 2 bar clamp diameters,
\- 3 seat post diameters,
\- etc
Basically, very few things are interchangeable between the bikes. However, all 4 bikes are using SRAM shifters (X.O1 10sp, XX1 11sp, GX Eagle (x2)) with cross-compatible MatchMaker adaptors. Thanks for making me realize this. :)
