or maybe they give you herpes but really it sounds like you don't really know

X - are you taking my criticism of cdale personally? cause that’s how its coming across

[XXX-er]

you haven't really said anything concrete it all just comes across as FUD

70% of Pon Holdings sales are e-bikes.

70% of the brands in the portfolio SELL ebikes. Not that their sales are 70% ebikes.

[bennymac]

Do you rep cdale? Why is this an argument? They have a long history of doing weird shit. Some of it’s cool - doesn’t mean I’m obligated to buy it or deal with it when, like everything else bike related, it breaks or needs maintenance. Those are just concrete facts. I dont hate them as a brand. I’m sorry you feel called out by that.

[grinch]

I dont really see a for or against apart from you. Just what we've seen we've posted. Not that anyones against affects me. No skin in the game here. Call me c dale curious

i have zero invested in c-dale except for maybe a 800 $ CAAD 7

but bulshit is bulshit

[bennymac]

Holee fuck I feel like I’m taking crazy pills here. You guys are normal posters but this is bizarre. It’s like mentioning to a friend you don’t like Chevy trucks or the Green Bay Packers and all of a sudden he snaps.

I’m out.

[XXX-er]

[grinch]

re: the lefty purchase

I will give you the same words of wisdom one of the Fey brothers gave me way back in the day when i bought a teleboard from him

"Oh yeah you will be different, you will be the antichrist "

Almost all my bike stuff is weird, Alchemist wheels, German-A Carbon fork, etc. I use a belt drive SS as my daily driver.

[CirqueScaler]

Cannondale was cool because they kept the horizontal top tube around for a long time... then they folded like every other road bike company and just made a tarmac look-alike. I guess that's ~~science~~ but still.

[huckbucket]

Some of their MTB and gravel bikes have proprietary rear hubs which is infuriating. Maybe the acquisition will standardize some of their spec choices.

My lbs redished new wheels to fit my superx in like 2 mins. Obviously it would have been better if it fit out of the box, but "infuriating" is a strong word.

That is good to know. I stopped reading when I saw they had their own standard, happy to hear you can retrofit
