Oh man, Team Robot is a deep dark snarky rabbit hole. :-)

But, I really wish they made one that somehow had only 10% drag in the descending gear and next to zero in the climbing gear, like the pinion. I would love to have a two-speed all-mountain commuter. I think it was a great idea, just badly executed.

I'm going to argue that market penetration was mostly due to the brand behind the tech, rather than the quality of the tech. They've also gotten reverb's on a lot of mountain cycles, and we all know those are utter crap.

The drag was unbearable. The Pinion gb has zero drag in comparison.

Really? Have you broken one? Seems like the loads on the seat post would be relatively small, even with the torque from the post, compared to the loads the frame sees when hitting drops/jumps/chunder.

Rock & Resole in boulder can still get stealth.

Climbing shoe re-solers can put 5.10 rubber on them.

There are people in my office with masters degrees who are not billing at $90/hr. Seems pretty pricey.

I don't think that bike shops or bike mechanics are "less-than", I just think that the premium for most shop work is too expensive for my personal budget. I have a local shop that I really like, and I take my suspension there for damper service, but everything else makes my cheap-o-meter start beeping. $30/brake for a bleed? I can do that in 20 minutes, etc.

Yep, I agree, it's just annoying.
