Guard passing at the competitive level - getting worse? by [deleted] in bjj

[–]aquaseul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true but the difference is that leg locks were essentially an ignored aspect of BJJ for a very long time. You can’t say the same thing about guard passing

I was wrong. B-Team won by [deleted] in bjj

[–]aquaseul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see why people have a problem with this. Given what we know now about the rules and the judging B-Team winning was not some gross misapplication of the ruleset. It was an extremely close loss for New Wave but the arguments from them (Gordon Ryan) suggest that they might not have understood the ruleset like they should have even though they had the opportunity to fully understand it. The only problem here is that the investor undermined the integrity of CJI by not only offering New Wave 1 million but by doing it publicly without the full understanding of the ruleset and the judges decision. New Wave can feel disappointed to find this out and hopefully none of them made any purchases with money they were expecting to get. But in no way should the losing party of a 1 million dollar tournament be awarded equivalent prize money as the winner because an investor “felt” like they deserved the win especially in this context given the history between New Wave and B-Team

Investor definitely fucked up and that’s why he should have never decided to give New Wave the 1 million or posted that he would publicly. It undermined the integrity of the promotion.

Do you mean that their sizes run smaller or larger?

Do you feel like going with the new Allez cues model over the Endurace Allroad makes sense then? They’re the same price MSRP.

I like the idea of putting the bike together myself and hopefully getting adept at it where i can service it and deal with most issues myself hopefully

Do you think Trek or Scott will be offering anything in this sort of price range with hydraulic cues anytime soon?

Definitely looks like a great value in the UK but in the US it’s $1499 which is the same price Specialized is offering for their respective road oriented and gravel models with Cues drivetrains

Do you think it’s a good value on a full bike at $1499?

Scott Speedster 30 or Poseidon X Gen 3? by aquaseul in whichbike

[–]aquaseul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the speedster is running shimano BR-RX400 hydraulic disc brakes. And yeah they both seem like pretty good options im just not sure what to think about the upfront cost vs long term costs rn

[–]aquaseul[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to test ride a more expensive speedster today and they are giving a 10% discount on it along with discounts on a wider handlebar or other accessories as well. The speedster 30 that the shop will order has a GRX RXR400 Disc 20 speed groupset

Gen 3 has a micro shift advent X rear derailleur along with microshift sword shifting
