6 Women's Enduro Bikes from Ard Rock 2021

 Even when your covered with mud you’re beautiful

 Dirty, dirty, wet dirt

You should spend more time learning grammar and how not to write run-on sentences, before correcting other’s spelling…

 @Saidrick: I’ll bite. What two independent clauses are connected improperly?

 @toooldtodieyoung:

To me, when you use the word ‘but’ more than once in a sentence, it’s a run on sentence. I see a few different clauses there:
1. Hate to be that guy.
2. Can’t help but cringe at incorrectly speeded words.
3. Please.
There should have been a period in there somewhere and a colon to point out the incorrectly spelled word. The whole sentence just seems to keep going and keep introducing new subjects and verbs.

 A dreadnought fears naught, but I cringe at misspellings

 @Saidrick: I appreciate the relatively civil tone your second post took, so I will try to reply in kind. I want to say a bit about the first post, though, before moving on to the riveting discussion about sentence construction, which I am sure has all of Pinkbikedom on the edge of their seats.

Your first post really ground my gears, and here's why.

You started with a flawed premise. Spelling and grammar are kind of like a hammer and a saw. Both are useful tools, but not really related.

I am a random nerd on the internet who is interested in both publishing and mountain bikes, but Pinkbike is a professional publication about mountain bikes. See the difference? Even if your criticism had been correct, it was unfair to try to hold both to the same standard.

You assumed that I write the way I do because I do not know better.

You ignored the possibility that my meandering, weak prose might actually be intended to soften the critical message, which was exactly my intention. I even went so far as to imply that some people might not care, but I, and like-minded people, do.

You ignore the fact that correct spelling is as close to indisputable as anything in the English language can be. A word is either spelled correctly according to an authoritative source, or it is not. "Dreadnought" is the proper name of the bicycle in question, according to the bike's maker. Grammar, on the other hand, is much more malleable, and the rules are often broken by writers as a matter of style to create a deliberate effect.

My post was factually correct, and yours was opinion.

Moving on.

I think you will find that everything from "for" to "incorrectly" is part of the same prepositional phrase, and does not require a conjunction. There are only two independent clauses, and they are joined correctly.

Here's my concession. My second independent clause is probably terrible. Both the subject and the verb are implied. "Dreadn*o*ught, please” is basically shorthand for "can you please spell Dreadnought with an 'o' instead of an 'a'?" I thought the meaning was clear, but it is not a great sentence.

 @toooldtodieyoung:
mic drop....

 @toooldtodieyoung:

Correct spelling is very much disputable when it comes to spelling of names. Try spelling: Erin or Aaron, Shaun or Shawn, Jon or John, etc.

Your “prose” came off more like someone starting a sentence with “no offense intended,” which usually means someone is about to get offended…

I have no problem with the “fact” of your sentence, it was more the tone of your opinion of how you react to a word being misspelled on the internet. It had an air of superiority to it, as in you couldn’t believe that someone could have gotten it wrong.

A simple “Hey The bike company spells the word a little different” would have been helpful, and not snarky( my opinion).

Anyways, fun talking to you, I am off to go get my bike back for the bike shop to go for a ride.

 @Saidrick: *incorrectly-spelled.
You're welcome.

 @Saidrick: Hate to be that guy, but which words were "incorrectly speeded" (sic)?

 @DarrellW:

It’s actually [sic]….

Just sayin’

 @Saidrick: sounds like we should chalk the whole thing up to misunderstanding. Hope you had a good ride!

 The latest generation with the new thread pattern are really decent all-round tires. Like smaller-knobbed Magic Marys.

 @Crossmaxx: nice! I am running DHR2/Agressor and Agressor basically gives you almost zero grip. I thought Nobby Nic is kind of the same

 @skulichkov: I love Nics. Predictable fast rolling rear tire for enduro-y stuff, and I run em front and rear on my hardtail. I think the knobs are pretty tall compared to the aggressor, so why they roll so well, I have no clue.

 @skulichkov: I bought an aggressor for a rear tire and went back to a dhr 2 after a handful of rides. No grip in loose, or sandy/loose over hardpack. Also I rode a steep, blown out, deep dust/really deep moon dust double black yesterday and had nowhere enough grip with an assagai front and dhr 2 rear. Needed shorty front and rear for that sh!t

 The Jekyll is the one that fell out of the ugly tree and hit a few branches on the way down.

 @drjonnywonderboy: Well yea that thing is hideous, but tbh I don't remember the last time Cannondale ever made a nice looking bike

 @Danzzz88: I think the new Jekyll looks sick. Those prev generation ones look hideous tho..

 I also wonder why they make such an ugly (and tall?) looking bike.

 @drjonnywonderboy: the linkage looks like it would be a really flexy frame

 @drjonnywonderboy: but how weird is the that vertical water bottle? Looks so odd… not to mention the bent down tube to allow for it to fit looks like a prime spot for smashing rocks

 If they goy away early they may be alright. Just having a beer after a crash and rain turned some parts into an oil slick. Not enough skill in me so retired for a beer.

 SX model cranks were the only feasible 165mm cranks I could find recently for a new build. Didn't bother me a bit knowing they were going to get hammered by rocks and roots anyhow!

 Why are people down voting my comment? They just don’t like the truth? Haha

 @stubs179: They are different aluminum alloys. 6000 series vs 7000 series. 6k being heavier and cheaper.

 @NateMob: ah, guess SX is a lot different. NX and GX are just steel vs aluminum chain ring. Interesting

 But I have no idea how they manage not to lose them. These fabric bottles are super minimalistic on the frame, and look great on road bikes but even there I have dropped bottles when going over speed bumps.

 Because the added value of those forks compared to the extra weight is already debatable for fast lads so for women I doubt they would see any difference but would still have to handle the extra weight. Add to this tue fact that they probably pay for their parts and may not change them every seasons.
