Cruisin' on my Bluebird
We all have our own approaches that’s for sure. 
There is nothing wrong with blindly following “ride - adjust - thrash”, and I admit we are all doing that to some extent, but there is also nothing wrong with wanting to understand the trade offs in a deeper way. I’m not a bike designer, so I reached out to the people here to help me get a better understanding of what’s really at play when bikes are designed. What happens if I use a fork with lots of offset? Why do people care about head tube angle? Etc, it’s all here for the past 8 pages.
I can see some people are loosing interest, and I haven’t been doing a good job presenting what we’ve learned yet. For me at least, there have been some moments of enlightenment.
It’s ok if people bail on this thread to be honest. I’m not offended. The people that are interested will continue to contribute. I’m not making anyone read this.
Some people want to look up at the stars at night and wonder ”what all them sparky things are?” and other people want to figure out how they formed and what that tells us about our own sun. Neither approach is wrong. Just different strokes for different folks.
