There’s always an element of practice what you preach to take into consideration.
We min-max our bikes at home. Stay on top of maintenance. Keep them a while. Buy nice serviceable parts that last. But you have to have the capital up front to buy stuff like XT/XTR shifters or fancy hubs, or rebuildable brakes even if they do last forever after.
But it’s been a lot of years since I was a proper ‘dirt bag’ so there’s certainly an element of imposter syndrome that I’m juggling. So, thanks!
