So, a proprietary steerer, a proprietary seat post shape, two proprietary dishless derailleur wheels, a switchable rear shock and a proprietary axle.

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.
