the comical thing about most of this, and I mean this will all due respect
, we are all just amateurs out riding a bike.. I mean I know there are a couple of ex-pros and some elite racers, but most of use are just out to enjoy the bike/scenery and for fitness.. I, like many, also enjoy the "stuff" aspect of cycling..
it's fun to try the new tech and "argue" the merits over your beverage of choice, but, in the end, it's all just for fun right? At the end of the day, very, VERY few of us will probably ever reach the limits of our bikes where some marginal gains from a tire or pair of aero socks is really going to make a difference.. but I do love the feeling of my Vittorias rolling on latex tubes mounted to Hed Belgium wheels.. no idea if they make me faster and couldn't care less if they do, I'm in for the comfort!
