It looks bad but is also chock full of granular info.
I was about to ship a shock to Fox but I think I’m gonna send it to them for a tune.

Called the suspension shop the other day. Spoke to one of the owners briefly. I just asked him if the site was the best place to put in an order but he insisted on having a chat about what I want out of the shock. Sent in the order yesterday and a woman with the last name Rude replied with a confirmation (Note this shop is in CT). Feels like I just got another scout badge in the world of bike nerdery.

“Q: I have an opinion about bike geometry.
A: You fucking ass. If I had a dollar for every knob that said this without ever having sat down and drawn a bike I’d be a millionaire. Take you’re long, low, slack horseshit and shove it up your ass.”
lol.
For a long time I was a certain type of critic. I was fighting the fights. I would argue my points. I may have been mostly correct.
