It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I was coming from some shitty Planet Bike ones that messed with the front derailleur so I sprung for something nice. I probably didn't need to spend $60 on fenders but I was at the bike shop and bought them on a whim: No regrets!

I went with a 1x for this bike and was a bit worried that I was going to miss having the 2 cogs up front.

Occasionally I'll find myself in a situation where one gear is a bit too high and one a little too low but for the most part I don't regret it at all as I prefer simplicity for maintenance sake on my commuters. I did commute on a single speed for 2 years though which definitely built some character when it came to the hills xD

My only regret with these guards is not using guards sooner!

My pants snag on the derailleur sometimes, makes me consider picking up something with a 1x up front but the problem is, bikes cost money lol
