Little name tag is so sweet, makes me want to run cantis. But I hate cantis.

Imagine how good that bike could look if you removed all the stuff hanging from it. So messy, so distracting, it's like they didn't want you to know there is a bike in there. Is there a purpose to the strap hanging from the grip? And don't get me started on tassels...

They are inferior to vees in every way, except for modulation, and yet I keep a set or two around against my better judgement. I can't hate them.

I sort of like it, but it does remind me of folks who buy outdoor wear for urban living, carabiners and shit dangling. But I also sort of like that. Life is just one big game of aesthetics at this point with nothing serving any purpose. At last, purposelessness.

Ever done linear pull levers with cantis? **** me that's modulation heaven, you can run them so far out that you could be riding a tacoed wheel and be none the wiser. Sure you gotta really grip it like a trucker, but it is worth it for that amount of movement. My only gripe with any rim brake is that I have to run the pads close. And it means truing my wheel. And I hate truing.

These words are meaningless to me, is that when your pads rub so much that it bends the rim straight again?

PS I thoroughly enjoy being contrarian in your contrarian thread. We'll eventually average out, develop the perfect machine through bike themed trolling

@Imlach and @MattiThundrrr
And once again you both make me question my entire knowledge of bikes and all my decisions on the subject.
Thanks for that! Made my day...again...
