Mounting and dismounting, thats like a major issue for beginners. I used to not ride bikes at all without any standover clearance but now literally none of my bikes have standover clearance lol.
How do you mount/dismount bikes today versus when you were a beginner?

Quote from KevinO2208 :
Unless your trying to get maximum speed all the time you dont need 21 speeds. The big plus of a 1x is simplicity - tuning derailleurs is a pain and another point of potential failure which is why the trend for mountain bikes is 1x.
Yep, 21 speeds is not really necessary. It's gear range that matters.

For mountain bikes, you need very low end gearing and if you're like me you don't need very much top end gearing. I simply enjoy the free ride going downhill. I just need very low end gears to get up the hill. 1x is the most popular for mountain bikes because an ultra high top end gears are not necessary, the sequential shifting is far more intuitive, and the narrow-wide chain ring up front helps prevent chain drops. This particular bikes has a 30T up front and an 11-40T in the rear. 30T combined with a 40T rear will climb moderate grades, but not super steep trails. I'd want some better low end from this bike and would prefer a 46T rear. Since it's a cassette, that's easily upgradeable in the future. The Microshift Acolyte set is 12-46T and under $100 if you can install it yourself. It has a clutch too.

Same goes for neighborhood riding. Past 20mph, most people simply enjoy the free ride going down hill. You don't really need much gearing past 20mph, unless you really want to make good time.

Road bikers are the ones that need alot of top end and low end gearing.

Perfect@!!! This also happened to me!!! I tried to rip the cardboard off with the pliers (sic!) and the whole forl stem assembly rolled out onto the grass, who knows what's now missing? No clue how to put it back together!!!

Odd that it ships like that. Usually when I unbox and assemble a bike. The stem is attached to keep the fork on, but the handlebar has to be attached to the stem with the 4 bolts on the front of the stem.

But here, the stem is attached to the handlebar and the whole assembly has to be attached to the fork. This is stupid. The only reason I can think of is it does save about 0.5" in box height judging by the video. So that's something.

Can you be a little clearer?

I stand on my left foot while swinging my right foot over the seat, until it comes to rest on the right pedal, while simultaneously putting my butt on the seat. When I'm ready to move, I lift my left foot and put it on the pedal. I thought that's how everyone did it.

For me, the ability to stand over a frame is all about safety. The last thing I ever want to do is wind up on the ground because I'm afraid the top bar is going to crush my groin. With frame construction technology today, I just don't see the benefit of preferring a frame design that doesn't allow the rider that extra margin of safety.

On a motorcycle or dirtbike you don't have the option to move your body forward because there's a gas tank between your crotch. The only options you have are to dump it over to the side or flip over the handlebars. I think you're making it out to be worse than it is.

1x is the current trend but higher drivetrains do use 11 and 12 speed casettes. For MTB trails though, 1x8 is enough for most.
Yeah, I didn't go into the averages of 1x. However, most of those are relevant to off road vs using on the road.

I watched the unboxing/assembly video and this is something he makes a point about - the front fork is held in entirely by a piece of cardboard and the cap.

I was wondering how he was going to fill 30 minutes unboxing and assembling a bike - bikes aren't like they used to be - I can recall assembling and ENTIRE bike from PARTS - now that's assembly - putting the front tire on and the handlebar isn't much "assembly".

What does a motorcycle have to do with a bicycle's stand over height?

But since you mention it, I see folks sitting at red lights on motorcycles all the time with both feet on the ground.
Dirt bikes are a different story. They have to be high due to the extreme suspension travel.

I can guarantee you that if you ever had a situation where you're casually riding in the street/sidewalk:parking lot, maybe just a few mph, and you have to make an emergency stop, you'd appreciate being able to put both feet on the ground immediately after stopping versus trying to catch the bike and yourself on one foot or your tiptoes 😂

So, what exactly is the benefit of preferring a frame design that doesn't allow the rider that extra margin of safety?

I swing my left foot over and jump on the saddle. I've been in multiple crashes and never landed on the top bar

The times I had to emergency brake I leaned and skidded the bike. Maybe it's just a beginner thing to go forward cuz I literally have never ended up on the top bar ever

I'm not saying the crash or braking itself, at that very split second, would cause you to land on the top bar. I'm talking about that moment immediately after the emergency stop when a person may not exactly be in their most stable position.
In that moment of instability, what is the benefit of a design that does give that extra safety margin from possibly tipping over versus being able to slide forward and put both feet down?

I know an amputee with 1 leg(other cut off a knee) that rides around just fine.

Motorcycles and dirtbikes have 2 wheels and handlebars. They also get into situations just like bicycles but at much higher speed and with much more weight to manage. The fundamentals are very similar.

I never said motorcycles couldn't have both feet on the ground if you're tall enough. But I know just as many people that can't flat foot a crotch rocket then people that can. When the bike comes to a stop, you have about 2 seconds to stick that leg down on the side that's leaning. You won't tip over right away. When I stop at a light, I usually keep my right foot on the brake and my left leg on the road center. That way I can sit up and relax my hands.

Are you saying bike riders PREFER to not be able to stand over the frame with both feet on the ground?

Are you saying you've seen a situation where someone makes an emergency maneuver (either a stop or a turn, etc) to avoid a collision where the ability to slide off the seat and plant both feet on the ground would not have prevented them from falling over?

So, what exactly is the benefit of preferring a frame design that doesn't allow the rider that extra margin of safety to put both feet on the ground while standing over the frame?

Are you saying the REI site I poster earlier is somehow wrong about their stand over advice for bicycles?
