This site's cookie banner and method of 'opting out' is atrocious. Additionally, "What is a hookless tire" shouldn't have been so late in the article ffs.

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
