I wonder if King is going to take down his stupid white paper against integrated headsets.
Even the dipshit commenterati of Bike Rumor is turning on Chris King.

what? Won’t the ceramic bearings just explode super quick like all other ceramic bearings?

If my experience in “the bike industry” is any guide, someone who owns a LHT will buy the crabon bike rack because they want to save weight. Then they’ll run effectively solid-rubber marathons on shitty stock wheels and rave about how the all the ultegra they put on their bike saves x grams.
Edit: I forgot to mention they’ll have 80+ mm of spacers and two dozen appliances bolted to their handlebars.

This. $289~$455 for a fucking trunk bag? PASS. It’s a good idea. It’s not THAT good of an idea.

This isn’t an outlandish product, but it is common and I do hate it: Triflow.
That shit sticks dirt on people’s drive trains like nothing else, it becomes the sort of metaphor for viscous black liquid you could imagine Daniel Day Lewis screaming about drinking stealthily with a long straw.

Truth. Your chain looks like a churro after 1-2 rides.
