The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.29 - Titanium, Mash Frames, Thomson: Are they worth it?
Shownotes
Good morning ballers,
In this episode, we decided to tackle the hard question of expensive, even maybe overpriced bike parts. We each compiled a list of around 10 fixed-gear/cycling components that we may have different opinions about when it comes to the big question of if they are worth it or not. Does the quality always justifies the cost, or is it just a bunch of clever communication? Here is a list of parts we tackled:
Expensive bibs and jerseys
Carbon rims
Ultra pricey LIGHTWEIGHT RUNDKURS and its big brother, the Autobahn VR
Affordable but terrible Mavic Ellipses
Premium Royce bottom bracket and hubs
2000 euros LOOK SRM EXAKT pedals
Now kinda rare Omnium cranks
MashSF frames
Cannondale Track and other rares frames like the Brooklyn Machine Works Gangsta V1
Titanium bikes like the N22 Littlewing
Expensive CNC parts like: brake levers, seat posts, stems, seatpost clamps, hubs, etc.
AARN Rings - We had an episode with Aaron, you can find it here
and the Izumi Super Toughness KAI chain.
