  • Something I haven't seen mentioned in these threads is economies of scale. Most cars are kind of engineering and machining marvels especially for their price, with a huge amount of their manufacturing being automated to a very high level. Fancy bikes probably do not have the production volume to justify that kind of automation. Their price represents their actual production being less efficient, not being able to amortize the R&D costs over as many units, and general luxury premium.

  • Asking questions is valuable to an online community though. People need to ask questions so that others can answer, and plenty of them (often myself included) won't post questions they have and will just search around hoping someone else already did.

  • Also lots of "activity" shoes don't have ankle support. See: most basketball shoes, trail/ultra running shoes, football cleats. All shoes that are pretty optimized for performance in sports that have high ankle impact, most are low top.

  • I mean, if he actually wants to do it and the give him the creative control for it then he remains as good a choice as he was originally to my mind. The Hobbit being a mess had a lot of studio meddling fingerprints on it, and it seems like there is a cash grab going on after Christopher Tolkien's passing.
