HeartCoppi Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Ouch, people are screened and briefed before touching my bikes (and my tools)

zonker Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 not keen on people touching or fiddling with my bike.you have eyes use those,leave your hands in your pockets,thanks
LazyTrailRider Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 If it's someone who knows something about bikes, sure. What's not great is when a layman pushes a shifter button up a couple of times without realising what they're doing and messes up the calibration (or kills the gearing inside the shifter pod). Not cool.
Cassie Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Dude, he was casually bumming my top tube while texting. That would be one dead ex-gardener.... I guess it is garden services from no on??
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Sure. As long as I can take a good look at their wife :-) :clap::clap:
Dicky DQ Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 What is the issue? It is a bloody bike and it gets ridden. Esp MTB. It bets bashed scratched dinged etc. So what the more you pay the lighter it gets that is all. 10K, 20k, 30k +++ who cares. Just ride it.

Not cool. Don't think this is possible if you got good equipment, worst case is the cable tries to stretch.
