In life you always find these people that practice X sport and you notice that, they always have the need to compare whatever they have to others, because they have to make sure that whatever they use is the best of the best, and if not, they like to belittle what everyone else have, just to feel ok with themselves.

When it comes to cycling, these people feel the need to always look at everyone else’s bikes brand and gears to start pointing fingers and “make a statement” of their opinion on having the best bike because of the brand, and will name you which components are the best or worst according to them, etc and it’s always a good idea to look for reviews and listen to different opinions when you are trying to make a shopping decision; just make sure you are looking for them in a reliable source, where fanaticism won’t get on the way of professionalism.

Like any other sport, here are always some equipment that has better features or that can help you out with a better performance, but, some people don’t understand that, each person is different in their own way, and they can choose whatever they want according to their specific needs, taste and goals.

Always keep in mind, the fact that, a bike can be expensive, but, it doesn’t necessarily makes it better than any other. It is actually the cyclist who can make the most of any type of bike.
