That’s the trend in this years/next years ski clothing, too, neutrals and earth tones. It’s the whipsaw from the skittles era...

What’s up with the photography in Bike magazine? I started noticing the trend a few issues ago. All of the photos are super dark. Like dark enough that it’s sometimes hard to pick out anything other than the subject. New trend?

Had been wondering why I seemed to have missed some issues of Bike. Sounds like they've gone down to 6 issues a year and will be putting more focus on digital content. Maybe I missed it, but you'd think that is something they would tell subscribers?

I was prepared to bitch and moan about installing internally routed brake lines on my new frame but I set up last night and it wasn't terrible.

Maybe so, but there's still no non-aesthetic reason internal routing should exist.

Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?
My theory is that they are working through the stages of grief. Got the photo annual, comparatively less than half the pages of previous annuals. Anymore I prefer reading Freehub.
Word, it's the current centuries version of bottom bracket mounted brakes.

Guide brakes. Why the hell have they not changed those? They're all high on the better properties of DOT vs mineral, but they're brakes suck compared to Shimano.
On that note, anybody have the TRP's? My bud is running those now and digs 'em. Likes the modulation.

Massive levers. That’s all I know, but it’s plenty to keep me away. Four fingered braking is so 1990.

Not enough to justify the PITA factor, IMVHO.
I can't recall seeing many, if any, bikes that routed cables/hoses on the underside of the downtube. You've seen a lot more frames than I have, though.
Do you guys charge extra for a brake install on a frame with internal routing? It's a conspiracy!

I guess it kinda depends. Most the brands we deal with now have internal tubes for cables and hoses that make it a no-brainer. Internal or external, when installing a new brake the hose generally need to be trimmed to keep it looking tight, so disconnecting at the lever and bleeding is all par for the course.

Isn't that what people say every year?
Seriously. People bitch about how much they suck. Oh, but wait the new 20xx models fix all those issues, they're amazing! Reviewers rave about them. Then actual riders get some hours on them. Within months everyone is bitching about them again.
