So, we’re still stuck on this idea that a solid setup isn’t crucial? Seriously, if you're out there slipping and sliding like a fool on ice, what’s the point? It's laughable how many riders think they can just wing it with whatever junk they’ve got. Studded tires? Yeah, they might feel like overkill to some, but if you’ve ever wiped out because you thought your slicks could handle it, you know better. And gearing? Don’t even get me started on those wide-range cassettes. It's like watching someone try to climb a mountain in flip-flops. What's the obsession with being stubborn about setups that clearly don’t work? Anyone seen a guy trying to ride through slush with a road bike? Like, do they think they’re invincible or something? What's the most absurd thing you’ve seen someone do to keep pedaling in these conditions, just to prove they can?
