It DOES hurt to look......

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Well, yes, my derailer does need replacing......but, that
isnt the problem with my chai skipping...

My smallest front, and 2 smallest back chain rings teeth
look like "shark teeth".

My LBS does not carry chain rings.... but they do have cheep
cassettes.

So, now comes the cost, $20 for the replacement of my
cassette, $30 for replacement of my small front chain ring,
and also my derailer... $30

So, I have 2 options Replace the parts at $80, or
Relplace bike...

I can get a new bike for about $250 ish.

any suggestions?

Buy a new or used bike and quit annoying us with your
repair reports.

Why not? It's the $150 bike-shaped-toys that are
dangerous. ;-)

My $250 bike (OK, so it was $280-some) has held up
reasonably well for a few years now. Rigid forks and all.

Hypocritical about what, Greg?

Huh? Obviously someone stuck in the dark ages who
doesn't know the meaning of hypocritical has managed to
post to a.m-b.

Why do Christians pray for victory in war?

That one good enough for ya? I seem to remember the first
commandment being "Thou Shalt Not Kill". It didn't mention
any extenuating circumstances like war...

Rev. Steve "you just can't kill for Jesus"

I personally don't know of any who have. I only know them to
pray that the war ends so lives are not lost. I hear them
pray for people on both sides.

I have never killed anyone so I've I got that one covered.
That's why the Amish and other religious groups will not
participate in war. There are people who refuse to kill
another human. Is that good enough for you?

> Rev. Steve "you just can't kill for Jesus"

And many dont.

That's it? That's all you can come up with?

Explain to me why "christians" cannot participate in a
flamefest? Where is that written? It's only viewed as
hypocritcal by christian haters like yourself who
cannot come up with anything else that would truly
warrant the claim.

For you, in about 3 seconds of thinking, yes.

Christ said "Treat others the way you would have them treat
you: this sums up the law and the prophets." Your
viciousness in these flameflests sure isn't very Christian.

I'm just talking about you above. The hypocrisy of 99% of
Christians is so easy to point out I'm not going to bother.
But if you really want me too...

That would a be question for them to answer since I was
never in the Army, and never in the military during war
time. If you want to know why, then go to the source since
I'm not qualified to answer for anyone but myself.

Again, ask those who are in the Army and claim to be a true
Christian. That doesn't concern me in any way, shape or
form. I served in the Navy.

Not unlike "mountain bikers are liars".

Ok, you win. Good for you.

Greg, your 100% correct. I've let those who oppose me with
their insults and derogatory remarks get the best of me and
responded in kind. I was all prepared to get all insulting
with you, but I'm sitting here at my keyboard saying to
myself "Gregs right, I'm wrong". Too bad I had to go and
reply to JD before I read your post, just reinforces the
negative image you and others have of me.

No need. I'm sure my behavior here has done enough damage.

Forgive me. Seriously.

Yeah. Shape up. Start by getting rid of our mountain
bike(s).

So just how many mountain bikes do you have? And why would
you want us to get rid of your mountain bikes?
