They "upgraded" their forum software and...wow.
actually dreading buying a new bike in the spring as it will probably make me a more regular poster on mtbr again haha
I don't check MTBR often, it looks like they have some new forums that are pre-populated with tons of posts. Did someone go through the old/existing posts and reclassify all of them? I bet that was a fun project.
I assumed it was dead. Last few times I wandered over there it was the doldrums. Haven't looked in months.
Plenty of activity but minimal useful or interesting discussion. But that's not new.
People still use the web interface? Is this 1994? How's your Packard Bell holding up?Quote:

That’s so core

Oh hell yes. Love that shit. Soon someone will get really offended. Then it’ll get really good.

For those keeping score: I’m 3 rides in on a Molten Speed wax treatment on a new chain. I did soak and clean in the solvent tank before wax application.
It’s quite dry here and so far my chain has been silent and feels great. The bike did get a little spritz of water and a really quick wash after the second ride.

Are you using a hard cheese like Parmesan? Or something soft like a Mozzarella?

I saw a similar thread there last week that I forgot to link here. The OP was having trouble with a crunchy drivetrain and he was adamant it is the finish on whatever 12 speed cassette he was using. Not the type of lube, as some responses suggested. That would be an excellent thread to go troll.Quote:

*in that car crash sort of way.
How much money has our boy Bushwhacker laid on the line for these inane/trolling bets over his skill vs random internet forum posters here, MTBR, and who knows where else?? I clicked on the link, then closed when I saw the title and poster, but like a moth to flame couldn't look away.... that was a bit more entertaining than the Powerpoint deck I'm procrastinating on. I suppose I'm not surprised it went to 10 pages in 2 days over there, but I'm going to cut my losses at page 2.
