Cool cool, yeah I dig it. Cycling can dip into geeking out on gear, which can be alright, but leads to consumerism, which can lead to snobbery. I think most bike snobs are well intentioned though, or are rather harmless in any case.
I definitely went down the rabbit hole when putting my bike together (and bikepacking requires a whole extra gear round) and was super focused on performance for a while, but these days just cruise. Lots of phases in one’s cycling journey!
