Discussing new tech in all forums can be sort of frustrating at times. Take 1x tech for example. As soon as you make a post about a 1x9 drivetrain, for instance, you will get some reasonable replies, but they can be drowned out by all of the posters who oppose the very idea of 1x drivetrains. They'll make impassioned arguments in favor of triple cranksets that they've made a lot of times before and will totally ignore the fact that no one asked for their opinion of 1x drivetrains in general.

It happens with a lot of things in cycling, such as gravel bikes. "They're a trick by the industry to make people buy bicycles! Don't be fooled. Because I ride my road bike with 700x28c tires on gravel means that you should too. That much should be obvious to any reasonable person."
