We had 3 polls in the last few weeks; and had great feedback from our blog visitor on all 3 polls. So, we thought we'd post the results and talk about what we've learned.
Our most recent poll was, "What is your favorite drive train?"
Shimano XT (18 votes) came in the winner, and SRAM x.9 a close second (16 votes). SRAM x.0 (11) came in third and Shimano XTR (5) a distant fourth. The poll suggests riders are finding the XT group to be a leading choice - and riders may feel the pricier group sets just may not be worth the coin.

The second poll asked how important waterbottles are? 62 percent of voters did not use water bottle mounts anymore at all on their frame - while 37 percent still used, or considered using them. Seems like water bottle mounts are going out of vogue - but still a significant amount of people using them should urge frame manufacturers to offer this option when possible.
The third poll asked about head tubes. This poll was set up to get some insight as to what head tube our new frames should use. After speaking with Josh over at Cane Creek, it seems like tapered and 1.5 headtubes seem to be the new rage and he showed me a lot of cool new headsets they were developing over there.
So what did our poll say? Our voters chose the standard 1 1/8" headtube as the #1 pick with 24 votes. The 1.5" headtube came in second with 20 votes, and the tapered headtube was third with 16 votes.
Thanks everyone for participating, and we will keep those polls coming! Also, please keep on posting and discussing, we love receiving feedback.
