Just a new guy.

Hello , From Hutto Texas, been riding for well, since dinosaurs roamed the earth, been working on bikes for 50 years or so. I will say I kind of got lost on the newer technology, tubeless tires , the reasoning for electric shifters, etc but trying to catch up.
Anyway thanks for having me.

Welcome form the PNW. Don’t worry, you will catch on to the new tech and you might just find that you like it. If not, you will have a lot of company.

Welcome! The nice thing about bikes is that you can embrace the new stuff or happily ignore it completely.
