Is single speeding a worthy commercial cycling endeavor or is it simply a tea-bagging of cycling component giants such as Shimano??

i dont think shimano's too worried about itjennytalia said:I like the direction in which this thread is headed. Let me clarify further for those of you who are more concrete with regard to abstraction ability.
Could the efforts of various component manufacturers making higher end SS parts be putting the veritable hairy nutsac on the faces of Shimano, Shram, etc.

But then isn't it ironic that the "various component manufactuers'" technique of tea bagging is exactly the same as the business decisions that made Shimano a leading cycling company; by producing higher quality parts...?jennytalia said:I like the direction in which this thread is headed.

Egg-f**king zactly!!!! JM you're now in the lead!!John_Michael said:But then isn't it ironic that the "various component manufactuers'" technique of tea bagging is exactly the same as the business decisions that made Shimano a leading cycling company; by producing higher quality parts...?
You're essentially asking a "chicken or the egg" type question. Did SS'ers create the demand for better SS parts? Or did the availability of bling SS parts create the demand for SS's?

And Bui, I kinda figured that wasn't directed at me. No worries.
put...jennytalia said:SSers dont have derailleur envy (except for those who use Rohloff tensioners) but the big component production manufs who make derailleurs probably envy the SS aesthetic.
Rohloff "speed hubs" I think is an attempt by a company that aims to be a "major player" in wanting cycling aficionados to adapt the SS appearance aesthetic while still offering the consumer instantaneous gear choices. I think this is a thinly veiled ploy to put saran wrap between sweaty, hirsute scrota and their (corportate) face.
Or maybe it is an attempt to make a more reliable system to change gears. Do you really think Rohloff aims to be a "major player" by selling $1000 speedhubs?jennytalia said:Rohloff "speed hubs" I think is an attempt by a company that aims to be a "major player" in wanting cycling aficionados to adapt the SS appearance aesthetic while still offering the consumer instantaneous gear choices.

i guess it became a commercial endeavour when companies thought they could profit from it...jennytalia said:Is single speeding a worthy commercial cycling endeavor or is it simply a tea-bagging of cycling component giants such as Shimano??

I apologize if I instigated any undue mentation. It's good conserve thinking or reflection 'cause for heaven's sake we don't want to deplete those finite resources.John_Michael said:JennyT: I'm guessing this is your philosophical question:
"If I post something in the SS forum that is sure to spark debate, but also use a phrase like "tea bagging," will I get more responses about bikes or balls?

Ernesto: Google translator gave me "hairy and stinking eggs after walking" as a translation to your last post. I find humor in this.
Good. That flicker of self-awareness is the first step on the long and difficult journey that lies ahead. You'll know you're well on your way when it begins to replace your desperate need for others to be aware of you.jennytalia said:finite resources.
