  1. S-Tracks or XTs. S-Track has got a very good pedaling platform and is lighter but tension can not be adjusted. S-Track cleat setup is more difficult with the use of shims. XTs are heavier but adjustable and bulletproof and many prefer the feel of spd. Whatever you do don`t get XTR cause the titanium axle breaks like a twig.
  2. Not necessary, already enough road vibrations going through the saddle?
  3. I might be wrong here but last time I heard there was shots fired from both of them (?), and if this is the case it is very possible to shoot someone in the back in a gun fight.
  4. Yeah, sorry I am not stating that it might be self defense in this case, I just wanted to throw a spanner into that function, my point being that not all violence is bad. As for Peach I not do see him as condoning this violence but that he chooses to want to know more before judging, and I have no problem with that. As for Peach stating that sometimes a PK is required, that is a bit harsh but sometimes I think the same.
  5. That`s mtb stuff, this was a ROAD rage indecent.
  6. I agree, all these road rage incidents can be attributed to problems in the larger society. We are becoming a very intolerant society, and the ineffective police/justice system is a direct contributor to this.
  7. MULTIPLE FACEPALM!!! http://static.gamespot.com/uploads/original/115/1156321/2350440-4907589147-might.jpg
  8. She is the person who made a bad mistake and will now be subjected to some angry mob justice on the hub.
  9. Did you ride the Artgust mtb like this? You are very lucky this did not happen then.
  10. Rouxenator is a man that does not spend too much R on mtb stuff, he is married. Yo Rouxenator, in the sport of mtb, sometimes it is necessary to spend some R on stuff to actually save money, especially with drivetrains, but also to avoid catastrophic failure when out doing an event.
  11. It does seem cowardly to me, but I would also like to know more before I make that judgement, and with that judgement, I also have to keep in mind that I have also been guilty of this same cowardly act when I was young.
  12. An angry mob are made up of individuals who have lost their temper together over the same thing. I do not see a difference.
  13. Get a free ticket out of jail? Please remember to collect your $200 whan you pass Start.
  14. My point is: That if one of us wants to take the moral high ground, please be sure that you have never committed a similar act. "let him who is without sin, cast the first stone" Jesus
  15. I take it you have also never lost your temper and punched someone? Hi, my name is Mr X and I have lost my temper 2 times in my life and swung my handbag.
  16. Have you never lost your temper and punched someone?
  17. So we know this happened, and just because we did not see the blood and gore, we all turn a blind eye? Yet a senseless road rage punch-up gets us all going just because it had a video? What type of society is this? I`m emigrating!
  18. Why does this go viral but the triple farm murder hardly gets any attention?
  19. Yep, this could happen. In that situation, it is possible that I might loose my temper and not care about the consequences, especially if I was younger. Now that I`m older I would probably think before I start a brawl.
  20. If I`m riding in traffic and people in a car is having some fun throwing things at me, I will be extremely pissed off. If that car stops and I confront these people, and they chirp or smile or laugh, then I think I might loose my temper completely.
  21. Yes, I live in an utopia of not stereotyping. Stereotyping is bad. I try to not do it, as I expect people not to stereotype me, but it yes happens, but then I do not care.
  22. There are many cyclists, there are so many that amongst them you will find many "not very nice"/"unwise"/"agro" people. I really do not care if people stereotype me because of the dumb actions of someone else. I do not stereotype rugby players as being thugs because of a swinging of handbags incident, I do not expect to be stereotyped badly because of the dumb actions of other cyclists, and if I am, I just do not give a crap.
  23. It is just a gesture, and I think that is cool. He had great talent and potential.
  24. Sounds good, but how are these riders going to be identified out on the trail?
