Brave thing to admit on your first post!

Disc brakes on road bikes are dumb.

I thought so too, until the tech caught up. Still won't see me back on a roadie tho. (Unless the MTB is broken)

You do realise I’m ALL the mods, right? Which one I post as reflects my mood. You can tell by my Dale posting than I’m mostly going through a grumpy curmudgeon stage.

Only ever bought one. Was the only 27.2 that did 5” drop at the time. Had it 5-6 years. Never need serviced. Never skipped a beat. Felix stacked and snapped the lever when about 4yo. Thomson sent replacement parts free.
Hard to argue with that reliability and support.

white socks?!?!?!? who the fark wears white socks trail riding. Black, Grey or GTFO.
The short shorts and the fringed riding top may be a nod to that NSFW section of the Yarra Trails, but they look to be a bit far from home, if that's the case.

Thanks man. Having worked in bikes shops on three continents, for over thirty years, I can can tell you without any worries, that I have NEVER...EVER, had a single Thomson product come back to me either broken, or for warranty. I've had to fix and send away every other dropper post known to man at one point or another and in the case of Reverbs, nearly all of them. Horrible product! But that's just a mechanics point of view. Customers love them...until they fail...then we fix them...and they love them again. The human psyche' isnt that clever.
