Happy new year

Let me help you out with 2018:

-Eat less sugar (its bad for you)
-Get of Facebook (this is bad for you as well)
-Push everything to get most out of life. Be it riding, climbing, reading, laughing, education, self-knowledge, cooking or fucking. PUSH.

You are welcome.

Just sayin'

The industry doesn't want you to maintain and ride your current bike for 5-8 years. With proper maintenance, a bike can last a long time. That cuts into revenue. So the "solution" is to make your parts outdated as quickly as possible so that you have to "upgrade".
