New is not always better

The mountain bike innovation curve can't be far off the digital innovation curve. Mountain bikers are the gadget junkies of the fitness world. Every year radical new bike stuff hits the market forcing us to upgrade to get the better, lighter, faster, stronger component.

But beware the bike hype, sift out the "new is just new" from the "new is actually better". If you can't understand or workout the benefit, then is it really a benefit for you? Also a benefit for one is not always a benefit for all, especially when it comes to pro riders.

If in doubt wait, if it is still there tomorrow then think about it. In the meantime take pride in riding your clunker and beating guys with lighter better bikes.
