If you are on a group ride, and you stop, clear the trail. If the stop is at an intersection, don’t block all the other trails. I know it’s uptight, but I don’t want to talk to you. I have kids I need to pick up and am riding to keep me from killing someone with my overwhelmingly uptightness.
thanks to all of you standing around in round valley!

Yeah, I get this all the time. Once i passed a guy on the down, (hiking), I was slow jogging, and the guy said something derogatory like i was supposed to go slow or his pace or i don't even know what the actual fuck. Its the weirdest thing, to me, that people whether in cars, walking, shopping, hiking, etc. hate being passed. I guess I'm supposed to follow them all the way to their house.

Have the stuff shipped to someone in Fernie. Build it up once you pick up, go for a couple rides and then head home.

That is an excellent idea. Thanks! I think that maybe just saved me $150.

This was identified early on as a likely outcome.

Definitely. Kind of expected it. As much a anything, I'm annoyed with myself - I was in Europe this summer and meant to pick up some dt swiss hubs to bury in my checked bag but didn't get around to it.

I need some DT Swiss stuff, so I was gonna order it from Europe because it's much, much cheaper there (retail prices in Europe are less than wholesale prices in the U.S.). Even with the higher price of shipping, it usually pencils out. Had everything in my cart, only to find that now there are customs / tariff charges that jack the price way up. Thanks Trump.

I had a PM I couldn't get rid of for the longest time so I had to tick a box to get rid of it but it took a long time to get rid of just keep looking at it playing with it, a software guy once gave me the advise for the apple products " approach it like a child "

I'm finding the forum to still be a mess via Tapatalk. Depending on how you choose to view threads changes everything. Now I go into specific sections like Sprocket and it's cleaner and date sequential. If I view Unread or Participated it's a hot mess.

It also looks like I have a PM, but I cannot access it.

you were ranting against interrupted shifter cable 10 yrs ago so maybe you smoked too much weed or not enough ?

[toast2266]

ranting against interupted shifter cable housing I suggested they might have done it to reduce friction

Actualy everytime I clickon the thread it comes up to that spot on my computer so after seeing it bunch of times IME here is what you can do just change the last 9" where all the friction is

A rant does not have to be logical it just has to piss you off

If you're still getting pissed off about bike features that haven't really existed since the 90's, then you need to smoke some weed or something.

yes but IME its really only that 9" of housing down in the path of all the wheel splash that gets dirty/ corroded SO if you don't switch to full housing just replace the 9 inches

yes i realize this is almost a 10 yrs old rant

I don't even remember what I was talking about. Cables? Lefties? Linear suspension components? Are you just trolling through the back pages of sprockets looking for an argument?

Less friction for about 2 rides until a bunch of dirt works its way in there.
