"Better biking"
Bill H. wrote: I'll agree that in complex machines with moving parts, there is a lot more room for improvement. Things can be made lighter, stronger, stiffer/more flexible, etc. But there is a lot of hype out there... There certainly is. Regarding the "lighter, stronger, stiffer/more flexible" issues, I think it's safe to say top quality bikes are way past the point of diminishing returns. I fully expect Shimano to come out with, say, new chainring bolts that are "30% lighter and 28% stiffer!" Buycycling magazine will say "We immediately felt the surge in acceleration as the new chainring bolts allowed the bike to respond to each twitch of our well-shaven muscles." But nobody except those posting here will say - or even understand - the word "negligible." - Frank Krygowski |
