#!markdown exactly, no one is saying that these new standards aren't better or that they aren't worth upgrading to at some point, but a lot of people are saying that the pace needs to ease up. We swallowed 650b last year, now give us a year or two to digest before the next thing comes along to make our frames/fork/wheels obsolete and worthless on the used market. If engineers are so eager to tackle some problems, why not figure out ways to implement these changes with less cost to the consumer? I'm not buying into any new standards, regardless of performance gains, until this all settles down and I feel confident that 115mm axles aren't right around the corner. And fuck Trek.
