Don't know how I feel about the motto "Bikes over B#tches"
How did this survive the "me too" movement
Can someone explain how this isn't at least slight misogynistic?
As an update to my Xmas. My spoke tensionometer tells me that I don't need it and my years of experience and spoke squeezing is pretty darn close.
I also picked up some post Xmas deals that have worked out really well.
Got a new carbon bar for my road bike. 1cm shorter reach and 2cm wider has done wonders for my comfort. Also, the ride feel is remarkably better than the aluminum bar that came on the bike. It also feels way stiffer for out of the saddle sprinting than my old one while being way more comfortable. I can see why they wanted $489 for it - I love boxing day 70% markdowns!
You are right...it is a bit mysogynistic, sort of. Although I never saw it that way, which is weird. Personally, there is a story and a why...which does not really matter in the big picture. Guess I no longer get them.
Got myself a set of DMR deathgrips in Miami colour scheme (blue and pink marble) and a Renthal fatbar with a 30mm rise. Which feels good. Life is good.
