Why don't you go home and cry to your mama?

Uh, yeah.

That way, when you're in the backcountry, and something fails, you know
what to do. Did you know that walking out ten miles is a very serious
pain in the rear?

Wait - you don't actually get into the backcountry, do you? Paved
paths, and all that?

For those of us that get more than a couple of hundred yards from the
nearest cell tower, it is extremely useful to know how to repair and
replace parts on our bicycles. Let's say you get up at the crack of
dawn to take a ride before it gets hot. As you are wheeling your bike
out, you notice the brakes are rubbing a bit.

If you know what to do, you spend the 3 minutes it takes to fix it and
get moving. If you don't, then you skip the ride and take it to the
mechanic to pay them to do it. I like to ride, and I like to be
self-sufficient.

Sounds strange to me - I put on all my own gear, unless I don't have
the tools for it.

I like this edit as well. It was well-done, and speaks personally to
your difficulty relating to adults.

E.P.

Move them closer together by sliding the magnet down the spokes closer to
the hub if possible, and the sensor further down the fork leg to match.


Shaun aRe - I made my own magnet out of 3 neodymium (sp?) disc magnets
stacked, and zip tied them to the spokes inside an old piece of inner tube -
I can set a passing riders computer off with the thing.

Maybe he's using some news thing that does that automatically.

Speak for yourself!

Anyhow, I think it's not working right because of the Coriolisis artefact -
I think he was sold a northern hemisphere unit by mistake.

Sir, I most heartily concur. Follows an elucidation of and elaboration upon
the aforesaid

Do not thee **** upon thy sense of humour less it be wetted forevermore and
thus fail thee in thy greatest moment of need.

And be sure ye to also moisturise thee thy duly thickened skin with careful
regularity lest it become crack-ed and calooused providing a breach that
alloweth thee vinaigres and thee vitriols and thee salts thereof of this
earthly plane to pass enter, thee to sting(eth) thusly:

<STING!>

See?

I hope I have been of some small service to the gentleperson who hath bang'd
his head amongst us somewhat this yesterday.

DoOoD - remember that whole thick skin/sense of humour thing Westie told you
about?

Well you forgot about it.

It also helps if you don't take yourself so seriously as to be offended when
you are the butt of the joke.

SERIOUSLY!!!!! ',;~}~
