A couple of those singletrackworld URLs are now out of date as the posts
have been archived, "f=2" needs to be changed to "f=8" in the first two.
Not that SuperSlinky is any more likely to read them this time round
than he did last time, but others may be interested.

This is how the manufacturers respond when someone reports a problem to
them:

Make no mistake, this is all about scare-mongering, ego and emotion.


Um...and what is your motivation, SuperSlinky?

Anyone who doubts this should take note that the question has been
looked at by scientists, and not the ones on Usenet.


Yeah, sure, these great "scientists" who are obviously superior
intellects to any of us - that's why they work in the high-prestige and
high-pay bike industry, after all.

The only publically available research from these "scientists" is the
Cannondale test. What do you think of that? Can you think any "reasons
to believe anything is missing or over constrained in this test"?

If not, perhaps you might like to think of applying for a job there. I'm
sure they could use someone of your calibre.

exactly how is such petty sniping advancing your argument other than
disgusting people to the extent of withdrawing? just because people are
sufficiently adult to not rise to your bait does not make your argument
more accurate - though you seem to misinterpret silence as their
acquiescence.
