It kinda bothers me that I am unable to watch a Sam Hill edit or read an article about him without mention of his choice of pedals.
I never thought I did until the last two years or so.Quote:

^^ THIS. Huge pet peeve of mine.
People who descend de facto climbing routes, rather than taking a parallel downhill-only trail that takes you to the same place. Had the pleasure of watching a dude doing this crash into a tree yesterday (no injuries).
How about when they finally do figure out that you're there and keep walking in the middle of the trail? Two weeks ago I rolled up behind two women with headphones and after letting them know I was there a few times they finally saw my shadow and turned around. At that point I had already gotten off the bike and was walking and they started preaching to me that I am supposed to yield to them. I said that obviously I had already done that and they said thanks then turned around and kept walking down the middle of the trail side by side. A quarter mile later when we got to the next trail junction they finally stepped aside but they refused to let me by until then. I almost lost it...Quote:

I would guess mountain bike only, downhill only trails are the rarity outside of bike parks or private land. Around here everything is multi-use and 2-way.
Ya riding today a a mostly downhill trail but w some uphillers on occasion. Came around a turn and saw someone coming and pulled over as fast as I could and stopped a few feet before we crossed. Not a lot of room and the dude managed to pogo on a rock right into me. I said sorry about that just out of reflex more than anything and he says...
Uphillers have right of way!
No shit, asswipe. That's why I pulled over. Grrrrrr
In the history of mountain biking, has anyone ever benefitted from these stupid little fuckers? I install them about 50% of the time because I'm a mindless drone.

Some are downhill only, some aren't. Multi user, though. Mostly mtnbikers and trail runners. A few hikers, horses and dog walkers.Quote:

I hope they don't shoot my hound.
^^ That sux! With short daylight hours that pretty much means no riding until April other than weekends if you work for a living.
But only ^^^^ Mon-Thur, So it's hassle away on the weekend?
Seen disc screws back out a number of times so I always check those screwsQuote:

PST, MST, CST, EST can all eat a dick.
DST 2016! Make after work great again!
My first f*cking post in this f*cking thread.
F*cking DMV. Holy sh*t.
I wasted my entire f*cking afternoon there. Holy f*cking sh*t. They f*cked up what I needed to get done, and now I have to f*cking go back tof*ckingmorrow. F*CK!!!!
After I got home, I got on the horn w/Sacramento and filed a complaint for the f*ck who f*cking f*cked up my f*cking afternoon. What a complete f*ck-up that f*ck is!
F*CK!!!! F*CK!!!! F*CK!!!!
Have a nice day. That is all.
Hugs and smooches and holiday wishes with sparkles and sugary dreams to everyone.
F******CK!!!!!!!
I go to AAA whenever possible. They can't do everything DMV does but they can take care of a lot of things, and never a line.
I do the same, just had to go to DMV this time. I'm not much of a drinker, but after going to DMV, I sure could use a stiff drink or three. :DQuote:

Thank you. Line length not the issue in this case, just lame worker, but I got it handled.Quote:

Schrader? Is it your wheelbarrow?
Presta valves on MTBs are stupid too.
Except I can remove the valve core on my presta valves with my fingers, whereas I need a tool with a schraeder. Not a big deal with tubes, but more convenient for tubeless.Quote:

My Lezyne High Volume floor pump with the new ABS2 chuck is the biggest POS ever. I'd love to meet the designer and kick him in the nuts. You shouldn't have to watch a fucking video to know how to use a simple floor pump!!!!
I'm not going to warranty the chuck, which went from annoying to broken recently. Can I get a different brand chuck on it?
If not, anyone want a floor pump, barely used? Going in the garbage soon
^^^ See if you can find a Blackburn "anyvalve" pump head. I googled, and they seem to have changed the style to a more expensive one, but a few years ago I bought a couple for ~ $5 each. They work great.
I put one on a cheap floor pump Mrs. C. had, to see if it'd keep it going. Worked great, so I bought another to replace the push-on chuck on my ancient Silca -- way better than the Silca pump head.
Thread on pump heads. It sucks when you unscrew them and the valve core comes out :(
Why even bother with threads in the first place?
Yeah, that happened to me once in the woods. Pumping like hell, sweating bullets, bugs, and then unscrew and core comes out with it. Phuuuck! [emoji107]Quote:
