They miss the mark on bike industry offerings

“I was gonna be snarky at first, but figured that would be of little value. Instead I want to highlight that these guys fail to provide honest reviews of the bikes and tech from the largest ORM’s, and I can’t help but think it’s because their jobs depend on it.
They never provide a real critical look at the fact so many modern bikes are not only insanely expensive, but so proprietary as to make them a planned obsolescence play by the bike industry.
They never earn listeners about the lack of ability to get a dialed in fit because the cockpits offer little to know adjustment.
They never discuss the fact that finding replacement parts could well be impossible now, much less in 3-5 years.
They never warn listeners at the likely cost of maintenance for all of the new technology, and how modern bikes have made it so being a home mechanic is close to impossible for the average consumer.
They never bring on or critique the likes of Shimano or SRAM for abandoning all of us with pre-disc bikes on the fact that we are looking at difficulty finding higher end replacement options in the future.
Do better James and Co. Do you not realize that your a man avenue to make cycling more inclusive, and all you are doing is turning this sport into the enclave of the upper middle class and above.
Rather than dump on square taper bottom brackets, maybe instead discuss the benefits for cyclists from a maintenance standpoint. Maybe discuss the benefits from a cost standpoint.
This industry is all in on trying to rip-off its entire consumer base, screw over its customers from just a few years ago, and rather than push back as a media outlet on this, you mock older tech and actively have been the mouthpiece for this entire endeavor by the industry.”
