I have a 9 speed X01 that has I don't know how many miles on it but the jockey wheels are pretty much worn smooth. Still works just as good as new, which is to say it punts the chain between the cassette and spokes regularly.
This is what's wrong with The Industry™

me too. but... how often do you ride your fatbike in conditions that are hard on an RD? In my case, it's not often at all.
I still have that group on my girlfiend's road bike. I've owned those parts since I was in high school.
I'm assuming the 8 years on a trail bike are the core of his anecdote, not the year on a fattie.
Why all my bikes have XX1 11spd, except the Gambler that's the 7spd version of the same thing, X01DH.
I guess most of us here will probably have fitted a few of our old parts to the bikes of our partners and/or kids. Impressive you still hold claim to yours.
An XD endcap does not fit the same as an XDR endcap 
Bought a DT Swiss XC non-boost wheelset that came with an XDR freehub, no problem, just need a 1.85mm spacer to use an XD cassette. Which is exactly how it worked on my wifes 12x142 bike. But my bike is old 135mm QR dropouts and I've always used a 10mm through axle on it, rather than a skewer. Using the 10mm TA XD endcaps the 10T cog is too close to the dropout and the chain catches.
Had to flip the XDR freehub and XDR 142/12 endcap with another bike and use XD with XD 10mm on the XC bike to get it all to work.

GMBN gave a GG bike a "Nice". Like WTF?! Rich P doesn't like it's headtube. Does he know there's a reason for that?
Make fun of Specialized all you want. And all Yeti's get a free hall pass. Can'O'Ale too. But you insult the local bros, now it's getting personal.

GMBN bike vault is just stupid pointless filler for their show. Who even wants to see readers wives viewers bikes?
Aesthetically GG's FS frames are quite ugly. So yeah, you're right to be miffed they called it "nice"
The segment would be far more interesting if they showed a true representation of viewers bikes and were honest about what a mess some looked.
Don't take Rich's comment too personally. You've seen the boy's hair, yeah?

If a GG became human
Pretty sure that's how big @mtg brain is
He's probably designing the next rocket ship for Musk
Although I'd rather see an eeb from them. Funky headtube not needed or how am I going to get Super Nice from EMBN? LMAO... I couldn't resist
Yeah I've seen one episode and that section and their choices makes as much sense as PB bike of the year awards.
i periodically check in on specialized pricing for a giggle. still waiting for them to push through the $20k (CAD) glass ceiling - $19,999.00:

At least it looks great.
It is all subjective, and they are still much better looking than the swoopy tube bullshit from how many years ago. I think my Ibis is ugly, but every time I see one of those I throw up in my mouth a little.Ya, that ain't too purdy, and I ride a Knolly.
Nope, your not wrong, melted looking bikes were just not right.
the enduro LTD is pretty pimp - and only $17,500 cad. all the electro gadgets:
&w=1600&h=900&fmt=auto)
Still probably is only gonna be worth about $6k in three years.i periodically check in on specialized pricing for a giggle. still waiting for them to push through the $20k (CAD) glass ceiling - $19,999.00:

yeah, the vintage market is going off. not even stuff as old as above; monster t's going for over $1k. nostalgic old fucks with disposable income (yes, that is we, pretty much), they just ruin everything. still, not as bad as some collectable toy segments; i used to have dreams of owning an older 911. man, that ship has sailed.
A mate has an old klein similar to that (but green IIRC) hanging in his
How much is it worth?
£12.50?

I still have a set of Monster Ts from 00ish
Who the fuck's going to give me a grand for them?
Any links greatly appreciated
et voila!
Your hobby has become "hoarding"
toss em on ebay; people are insane on there. ie:

Not uncommon...
I got in in time with the vintage bikes.
..and I got screwed.I got in in time with the vintage bikes.
I have a 3 pretty high end 26" that were kept for the kids who expressed interest to ride.
Covid comes, and one kid goes on two rides.
Now, no interest at all.
Should have just sold them when they were worth something, but no I gotta hold out false hope...
Anybody want a Rocky Slayer or a couple Knolly's?
I also kept old bikes for my son:..and I got screwed.

- A 1991 Specialized Sirrus beater frankenbike my parents bought me when I was in high school.
- A sweet 19lbs 2013 Intense Podium XLT BMX Race bike
- A 2013 Pivot Mach5.7c fully decked-out with dual PUSHed Factory Fox suspension, DT240 hubs and full-XX1 group.
He says the Spesh Sirrus frankenbike is the coolest bike ever and want to ride it every day; he enjoys riding the BMX on the pumptrack from times to times; and he never really wants to go mountain biking. Uninterested kids are what's wrong in the Industry...
it's primarily the super monsters going for well over a grand. likely because only a few hundred of them were ever made.
edit: i've seen super monsters fetch $2k and up
I’m holding onto a Marzocchi D-Street(24” specific fork w grind guards and 14mm through axle for pegs) as a nest egg to buy some luckylottery tickets that might help me pay off my college loans before i’m 55!
