United States5 months ago The whole foundation of ranking campagnola is ridiculous. It's not going to be seen as the top to your group set no one's that stupid In fact it's just looks dishonest to have your first and second groups that have basically the same name. You don't get prestige when someone looks at it and says oh yeah it's not actually the really the top one it just makes you look even stupid. And you and all the other shows keep quoting prices that are complete BS and everyone knows it.

These guys and gal consistently nail it. I especially appreciated the latest episode on the 1x compromise. It’s a reality many weekend warriors don’t fully understand. Yes, pro and serious amateur gravel racers use 1X, but the jumps between gears are a much bigger deal for us folks like me who average 170- watts rather than 270+.
