For years, we all were just tryin to ride and do anything to keep the clap-traps from incinerating themselves on the first climb or jump.
But that knowledge seems lost on the consumer culture. I realized the other night while negotiating a pesky (steel hardtail- straight steerer- 104 bcd) chain line…. that this art is all but faded.
So I, a semi retired bike mechanic, dad with old shit mixed with the newest shit, guy on the trail with all the tools helping strangers- I applaud you Andrew.
Just keep writing this stuff: I’m loving it and obviously we are all enjoying, learning, and practicing the CRAFT of BIKE CULT.
