It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

With money tight and riders demanding tougher gear, the cycling industry is shifting its focus to durability and practicality. From stronger wheels to rebuildable derailleurs, brands are stepping up to create products that last—and keep cyclists coming back for more.

I have absolutely no idea how many miles are actually on my unpowered bike because I never fit it with a computer or odometers. All my maintenance is pretty much, "Yeah, I guess it's worn enough to replace."

I'm probably going to need new cassettes in the next year or so, on my third chain with them now.
