Not to be a suck, but your articles have had an oversized influence on my bike in the last year. I don't think all the relevant stories were written in '21, but because of them this year I switched to a bar with more sweep and push on grips (though of a different flavour as previously discussed at length). My comfort has improved quite a bit so thank you, Andrew.
I recall a conversation with a Chilliwack bike shop owner who also enjoys your writing and finds your reviews credible, relevant, and valuable. I'm sharing that because a positive thought left unheard does nobody any good.
I even greased my Oneup Composites because of you. Soon afterward I gave them to a friend, but it's nice to have friends with quiet pedals too.
I've yet to be sold on harder soles though. My white Oakleys from 2005 formed my opinion on that topic.
