  no, gravel and mountain bikes. it’s for increased traction and rollover.

    I’m short, so I don’t like that trend. It also seems like the more stuff you’re “rolling over” the smaller your contact patch will be, so the less traction you’ll have.

    Anyhow, probably doesn’t matter to me since those aren’t the kinds of bikes I buy.

      yeah that’s not how it works. you have more traction, more control, and more speed. it’s superior.

      but people just hate it because it’s new and different.
