Zero stress, it’s a great discussion about modifying bikes and I think there’s value in multiple viewpoints. I just don’t like manufacturers making a big deal out of stuff that’s not a big deal (you know, like drilling a hole for a Stealth Dropper when that’s exactly what they’re going to do).
When it comes to the vast majority of folks commenting here I wouldn’t think of them as total strangers. The odd troll wanders through but in general this community is awesome at disagreeing about stuff and holding each other accountable in a polite way. I wish more of the internet was like NSMB.
Being a mountain biker who doesn’t have the time or passion or energy to ride is difficult. Been there. Don’t feel bad taking a break, the activity and community and trails will be waiting. As someone who can’t ride, and won’t be able to ride for a long time, if all you have the bandwidth to do is think about/talk about/write about bikes then that’s cool too!
Cheers,
