TNT1 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 They make 29" MTB wheels now??? To quote Bob, I'm shocked!
Caerus Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Ai, the magical power of the roadies Was going to say get Harry Potter on the case, but he seems to be one of them
lloydkayak Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 As a new MTBek trying to decide... I rode some sweet single track yesterday on my ancient merida that is 2" to big for me. Fell off at every technical turn and rode home with more mud on my ass and legs than on the bike and guess what... It was awesome!!! who cares about wheels... haha
TNT1 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 MTBers were never worried about speed. They wanted fun. So what's with all their rules about what you can and can't wear, what bar you canb put ends on, what camel bag you must use, why you cannot use a water bottle, and so on? I've ridden with some of the mtbers who profess that they're in it for fun, and they sure did suck the life out of fun as far as I could see. Rules, no rules, I personally don't care, but stop being a bunch of two faced pretentious twats. The first time in nearly thirty years of cycling that I experienced people judging me on my bike and my clothes and so on, was when I went for a group mtb ride for the first time.
Bat-ass Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Strangely, i'v noticed in the last year that there has been bit of a roll reversal...... Now days, the roadies are a "happy go lucky" smily kind of person..... and the mtb owes just glare at you, like they thinking... "what you doing on my trail??!!!!"
Bennie Dikwiel Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 To quote Bob, I'm shocked!Next thing they going to put 10 speed sprockets on mtb's....
Harry Potter Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Next thing they going to put 10 speed sprockets on mtb's....What do you mean next thing?, If I’m not mistaken it is 10 speed is old news

TNT1 Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 It wasn't your clothes or bike, it was you shaven legs Either way, road riders have never been elitist towards me. MTBers have. Goes against the whole mtber creed if you ask me, but what do I know. I'm a low life east rand bastard.

The Drongo Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 Either way, road riders have never been elitist towards me. MTBers have. Goes against the whole mtber creed if you ask me, but what do I know. I'm a low life east rand bastard. Blue Monday dude? Methinks you need to go visit the lady with the couch and clipboard again today. (You shave your LEGS???!!!)
Lamber Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 What do you mean next thing?, If I’m not mistaken it is 10 speed is old news Old news? Where do i find such technologically advanced super hardware?
The Drongo Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 You don't? I only shave my FACE when I HAVE TO! - As in "Go shave, you are looking scruffy!" Why the hell would I want to shave my legs? How frikkin LONG does that take?My legs look scratched up enough from riding a bloody MTB, add shaving and it will look like Jack Sparrow had a go at me!
Taps Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 29ers were "invented" by some guy with dyslexia. When he was ordering wheels from China he transposed the "6" into a "9" without realising it, and everybody thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
