Agreed. His thorough reveivews have allowed me to make technical purchases with confidence. Most recently in a new power meter for my bicycle.

Based on DCR and GPLama, I got the assioma pm pedals and then did the MTB pedal mod. DCR also (in effect) got me a new wahoo trainer. I also regularly recommend Hambini, Peak Torque and Durianrider (everyone mentioned is a youtuber) as honest brokers in a very shady world.
Hambini can be almost too honest. He's obviously a great engineer and really knows his stuff, but dang he rips people a new one.
Durian is a problematic person. Best to ignore him.
Does this mean he tweeted something “mean” and got on a discord hate list, or is there actually something problematic with regard to paid sponsorships / reviews?
