The other kind is a pie, not a pizza. Or just a piece of crockery. Definitely not a rim. TheoG and splat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted February 20, 2023 Share On a serious note though, it's just a bit painful to have to manually filter out stuff you're not looking for. Like looking for a single bedroom flat and every 2nd ad is for a bachelor flat. Not the same thing. Although in that case it's usually an agent being deliberately obtuse, and as Matt said earlier the wheel / rim thing is more likely a seller that just doesn't know any better. Cos not everyone wants to be a massive bike nerd. If anyone needs any further triggering: Peddle Helmut Front shock Soft tail Breaks Spikes Happy searching...

tubed Posted February 20, 2023 Share Being a big fan of the era of box section rims laced with stainless steel spokes, I get triggered when I see someone advertising: "Wobler rims for sale", just so wrong on so many levels it isn't worth trying to correct TheoG and Underachiever 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is front fork that gets me. Clips is the other one. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted February 21, 2023 Share 19 hours ago, droo said: . Like looking for a single bedroom flat and every 2nd ad is for a bachelor flat you should try looking for places with a granny flat. Agents hardly ever take pics of the flat, so when you get there to view you find out its a servants quarters at the back of the house. Waste of everybody's time.

There was once a frame with a rear fork, but that's the only time this distinction was acceptable. Behold the Manitou FS, 1992.

117 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Can you imagine what adverts will really be like if we didn't have the literature feds? I want to trade a metal (or composite stuff) double triangle attached object with I think 26 round thingies that make you go faster down a hill or sweat up a hill, connected by some metal alchemist who can from the 1600's. That is all being turned by some medium length flat metal bars which have some nice places to let your feet relax on top of. They're more comfortable if you have the correct winklepeckers on All of this sometimes balances, sometimes not on these two round jobs which have some rubber on them, if you know what I mean 😉. It makes a funny zzzzzzzz sound when you go down a hill. I'm not sure if it's broken? The best part is that on these two triangle thingies is these bits that move in and out of each other. These make it feel like your sitting on the couch watching the blou bulle run up and down the field It doesn't use petrol or electricity so you'll be safe from eskom and the petrol pomp It does cost some ronts to maintain, but so far it's only cost me 46 bucks to get a hole in the round rubber job fixed after I didn't like to do a lank big rabbit style hop over the local pothole in my road I bought it from my local mass shop called macro or something, it was not too much but you can send me fowty free hundreds and thousand and eleventy ronts and you can park this lekker magafter in your garage where your poppie parks her purple corsa. She'll smaak you stukkent for it. You can thanks me laters, Bru Bring back the comments aseblief....
