In theoryâŚ
I grew up with nasty bottle dynamos that used to dissolve your tires in the rain, and that just reminded me of one.

Sweet fucking Jesus. The master of self-congratulatory pseudo-science is on a roll this morning. Comparing his latest foray into the epitome of obscure and proprietary retrogrouchiness with a Porsche. Not to mention touting the fact that the cycling âpressâ are fawning over it.
I love my fat supple tires and am happy to dabble in friction retro projects but this guy rubs me the wrong fucking way. â And yet in bicycles, analog experiences arenât on the radar yetâ are you fucking high dude ? They fell off the radar 37 years ago with the mass adoption of indexed shifting.
Sorry for being extra spicy this morning.

(Some) Small biz owners have a habit where every time they open their mouths they seem and be in marketing spin mode. They canât turn it off. My old boss was like that. Jan is like that. Itâs sad.
What if Janâs c&d for posting copyrighted material was to get forum nerds to spread free marketing

man if I were going to make a heroic reach of a product comparison between my retrogrouch dangler and a Porsche on the basis of analog purity, it would at least be a Singer. the current GT3 has quite a lot of electronic and computerized components to create that highly specialized driving experience and make it more safe and accessible for everyday people⌠similar to how roboshift means a cyclist doesnât have to tune twice as many nonstandard mechanical linkages

This absolute hubris of talking about the primacy of the analog experience and how no one is developing new analog-sensory-focused advancements in shifting and then using flat, 7s era cogs in all your promo pics.
