Bike gears are intriguingly analogous to genitalia. The derailleur type being male, the hub type being female.
Not sure where to go with this.
Outside to touch grass?
Well, apparently the witticism was not appreciated. Must be hard to find a way to take offence at literally anything but whatever…
I was actually making a serious point. The standing joke goes that God was unkind to men when he put their delicate bits on the outside - and in fact it’s true for bikes too. Hub gears make much more sense than derailleurs - the vulnerable parts are protected! But as I understand it there’s a trade-off with the efficiency of power transmission. To be honest I’ve never quite understood this, nor why amazing 7-speed hubs are not a thing.
I think everyone got the joke, but comedy is hard.
Fair enough. I Just see downvoting as so juvenile and petty. We don’t jeer people at every turn in person, we have manners.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
