If someone needs help with things that go on with their bike, a forum can't be beat in my opinion. There is a lot of knowledge here that I have been the beneficiary of, and it is definitely appreciated. Facebook or instagram cannot compete in terms of information availability.
I'm still not understanding the talk about "the cone" - was it an edict of the owners of this forum or another forum to stop discussing sensitive topics? Is it a place on this forum to discuss such topics?
