i get the feeling that its wheels will never see dirt again.

Of course there are some places in the world where mountian bikers are not so obsessed with riding in the mud, so an eletronic shifting system well sealed or not is more viable.

obviosuly b r you are getting confused.

because in the past we at BM used to do a dead bike event, totally organised online, with a whole game attached to take place at an event when someone lost the game.

anyway this is not a committee, its a dictatorship.
