So much to unpack here: https://www.stayhometakecare.com/worst-mountain-bike-brands-to-avoid/

Key takeaways:
I am screwed because:
1. all of my bikes have less than 21 gear combinations
2. I have cable pull rim brakes on 3 of my bikes
3. I have cheap tires on my commuter so they will explode when i go fast.
4. All of my suspension is adjustable

I am redeemed because:
1. My mtn bikes have disc brakes so my wheels won’t lock up
2. All of my frames have hollow (not solid) tubes

But… only my cable pull rim brake pads have wear indicators! Does that counteract the fact that they are not hydraulic??

I made a good choice, my first mountain bike was a Kona, um I mean Krona, um no I don't. Fark it, I'm confused and screwed now.

Only 1 of my bikes is a Krona so I’m good either way…

"unpack" lol

"You should avoid frames that are solid rather than tubular, ".


Glad we got that sorted out.

I don't think I've ever seen a "solid" framed bike.

Oh well at least one good thing has come out of that article, it looks like DJ has finally had some of his work published.

Ooh a DJ burn. That's going to piss off Finch and Picard at the same time.

Wow I'm screwed I guess. I should have bought a professional level bike from Next.

From the title I thought this was going to be something like 'Don't poop while you are on the phone for an interview'.

This is actually worse.

Yeah, but it IS a Trek and the guy did say Trek bikes are fine so now I'm confused...

Can anyone think of a more substantively idiotic bike related article they have seen in the last 25 years? I can’t. I couldn’t possibly come up with more bizarre comments if I tried.

Damn! My suspension is adjustable.

Feels a lot like it was written by a bot.

Just remember - heavy bikes are no good for downhill. Go as light as you can.

I saw the name of his blog site and thats all I needed to know about this person. If you're staying home, how do you have so much knowledge about mountain bikes?
