Internal brake line routing, and the requirement to disassemble/reassemble/bleed brakes due to same, is what is wrong with the industry.

But "clean lines bro"
Scott's new bike look sweet, but I'm like ugh...a 5 min job looks like a 2 hour job now.
Trust me. It's 1000 times worse on an ebike. Not that anyone cares. AXS helps. But cost/money.
Just need bigger holes we can fit the whole caliper through. Maybe Scott can help.
Internal brake lines can suck.
Even more so are the companies that are doing the stem/headset cable and brake routing. Fuck right off with that shit or at the VERY LEAST still provide normal cable routing options.
No one on the planet wants to bleed a brake or redo derailleur cabling if you want to swap a stem or change a headset bearing.

It's not really an "Industry" problem, but the problem with ear buds on trails is that the wearer can't hear what's going on around them. (It's not the noise they make.)
It's always fun to pass people who can't hear when you politely ask multiple times to pass, who then get upset when you startle them. Happens all the time. Usually I just tap my ear and keep going.
I get that people specifically like to "tune out" but that sucks for everyone else around. Certainly a bigger issue in crowded areas with tighter trails.

Go back to the previous page and read the posts from @SylentK and me explaining how we both manage to listen to music and remain aware of our surrounding noise while wearing wireless earbuds.
earbuds with an ambient sound feature are another option.
We can read. The two of you separated by 4600 miles aren't the problem. Its the other 4000 ear bud dorks between yall that are.
Same for me. Old farm house, only fields and woodlands around me, hardly any noise unless it is harvest season. Even on boring rides I do not listen to music, just not my thing I guess.
I have no problem when folks ride with music unless they are zoned out and are not aware of their surroundings.
Yeah, we can read. I've heard similar arguments from some of the people who didn't hear me coming despite my asking nicely to pass multiple times, and who then got mad that I "snuck up" on them.
But we all know your trail etiquette is untouchable, so don't take it personally. It obviously doesn't apply to you.
That said, the new generation of ultralight FF helmets are nothing like they used to be in that regard.
Unlike the people we're talking about here, deaf people tend to be aware of their own deafness.
Edit: Sniped!
gary is a ghost stuck in a haggis
The next fucking piper that butchers Thunderstruck…FFS, man…
Everybody rips off the Scots!!
I am very lucky that my Scottish neighbor is a nice guy, and he doesn't judge my music preferences either. Must be one in a million.

AC/DC formed in Australia in 1973.
The Krankies Wee Jimmy character was developed in 1976.

One thing that doesn't suck is Bird Bike allows you to chose internal/external routing on their bikes. Their solution is neat and others should use it.
What kind of a FF helmet you are wearing where you can't hear a guy riding behind you? Not a dig. I'm seriously asking as my hearing is rather bad and I still hear people.
Is this what's at your local trails?
I don't like helmets at all so rarely pay much attention to what actual brand or model helmet anyone wears. Nevermind folk riding UPHILL in a full face. but the lack of awareness from some folk wearing them has definitely become a way more common occurence than meeting anyone with earbuds in.
Now you need to tell everyone that those two were marriedThe guitar wanking riff in Thunderstruck really isn't all that far off the sound of bagpipes anyway.
AC/DC fans make me laugh
Everyone knows they just ripped off "The Krankies" with their... erm... *image* too
I reckon Malcolm and Angus themselves would be laughing at that level of gullibility
That's nice.
It's easy to do this now because you don't get tired.
Fully agree. Except for the intro to Hells Bells, all crap, all the time.
is this the worst off season ever? i can’t if that continues like that till june
