So, rider feedback is key, right? But how are we actually getting that data? Strava stats? Some random forum polls? Seems sketchy. Real-world conditions can be way different than lab tests. Are we just chasing our tails with all these “game-changing” materials if we can’t nail down solid metrics? These manufacturers throw around flashy claims but how much of that is just marketing fluff?
And with frame geometry, it’s like everyone’s got their own magic number for handling, but how much of that is just riders getting used to whatever they’re on? It’s wild how much they hype geometry, yet the real magic could be in the smaller details like tube shapes or how they weld those joints.
Anyone actually seen a bike that nails this balance of stiffness and comfort without feeling like a noodle or a brick? What’s the real scoop on innovation here?
