Ha! Don’t get me started ;). First off Mike you’re not the first to make these observations & predictions, it’s almost standard campfire talk these days. I’m sure we all recognize that Scott & Trek (among others) intentionally fattened downtube/BB area to make regular mtbs look like emtbs. Anyone interested in resisting the pie plate sized cog hilarity should consider a 46-9 or 48-9 cassette (Leonardi or E13) coupled with a med cage X01 (cheap! Works great with 11 or 12 spd shifter).
