  1. This is basically My way of introducing myself and letting everyone who has
    offended me so far know the reason they have offended me and how not to in
    future

    If I want to feed the troll Im not hurting you!!!

    If I want to defend our sport Im not Hurting you!!!

    If you turn around and make remarks that can easily been seen as taking the
    [censored] out of me I will get angry

    If your a woman and want to be treated differently than a man does dont talk
    to me I treat everyone as equals even MIKE.

    If I cant be bothered to correct all the spelling and grammar in my posts
    dont use this as a cheap shot agaist me

    If you must have a go at anyone why must it be one of your own??

    If I offend you with anything I say then I appologise I am not out to offend
    anyone (apart from mike possibly)

    If I offend a friend of yours keep you nose out its none of your business

    Anyone reading this will understand why I get [censored] of when I try to defend
    our sport and get told basically not to !!! I have the right to defend
    myself you all seem to have reached the conclusion that
    A) Mike actaully read's all of the posts (mike dosent care about all the
    little in and outs of our sport)
    B) Mike will go away if you stop repling to his posts (firstly you are never
    going to get everyone to ignore him and secondly I get the feeling Mike will
    only be "egged" on if we fail to defend ourself's)

    If you do offend me you can expect me to reply offesivly its a simple as
    that if you check any of my earlier posts you will see that when I have
    reached the decision that I have acted a bit to harshly towards somebody I
    will usually appologise and offer thanks for any help they have given me.

    What if no one cares that you're offended and want to contine to do so in
    the future?

    How about if you just STFU and go away? That might solve the problem too.

    HTH

    Tom (are you offended yet?)

  5. You explained everything about yourself except why you are here.

    I bet you are here because mv is here - if he hadn't sat his butt here, we
    would'nt see the likes of trolls like you - another reason to hate mv

    Do you really think we needed another reason?

    thanks, thanks alot

    What kind of bike do you ride? What is your opinion of a single speed?
    Where is your favorite trail? How long is your average ride? How long have
    you been riding? Have you **ever** posted a ride report? Who got you into
    riding? Do you prefer lycra or baggies?

    What kind of bike do you ride? It's a custom built steed based around a


    clubroost stinger evo frame (the evo is the new one not the onld stinger)
    and a set of zocchi MX comp 2005.

    What is your opinion of a single speed? the same as my opinion of fixed gear
    I cant see the attraction myself but each to his own I prefer to be able to
    ride in any gear that I like depending on trerrain

    How long is your average ride? In time or legnth? Time abour 4 hours
    (including there and back) and around 15 miles (including there and back)

    How long have you been riding? ohhh for as long as I could ride a bike
    ("serious riding" about 5 years)

    Have you **ever** posted a ride report? (nope most of the ride's I find are
    already well reported and well known)

    Who got you into riding? working at a bike shop, I started out being able to
    get cheap parts and before I knew it I was a mountain biker

    Do you prefer lycra or baggies? Baggies Cant stand those skin type things
    esp the shorts which apear to have a oversize pantie liner in them.

    Even more answers to questions you havnt even asked :-

    I prefer a [censored] pot helmet rather than a brain seive

    14 gears 7 on the back 2 on the frount including a custom made a bashguard
    Used to be the standard FSA bashguard until I moved over to the deore
    crankset.

    Im rather a fan of V brakes My theory being they do the job they are
    intended to do Disk brake's are Im my opinion to much.

    Yes Im am perhaps behind the times (I still Like V brakes and I use "old"
    hubs and rims) but I have a found a steed that works well with my riding
    preferance.

    Largest dropoff approx 4foot Scared the [censored] out of me and I never attempted
    it again.

    When going downhill on a steep slope best technique I find is to lower your
    weight over the back wheel In a kick me in the [censored] posture with two fingers
    resting on the rear brake, Have your best foot usually rearward to help keep
    your [censored] in balance unless your going to need to pedal hard at the bottom
    of the slope.

    SPD or flat pedals I prefer Flat pedals with lots of grip .. you lose more
    shin that way but you can quickly exit the bike if things start to go wrong.

    The granny ring is the smallest ring on the frount crank

    Fav bike store Re-cycle in Leicester (I used to work there)

    Least Fave bike store Halford's They are generally dangerous in there
    repairs.

    Is there anthing else you would like to ask?

    Were you born an insecure [censored] of a dimwit or

    you to this point?

    Ha! Hey I make no excuses for my speed, but four hours for 15 miles? I
    climbed 24 miles out of Copper Canyon, which is 4200' vertical in three
    hours.

    Sheesh, this could really get out of hand.

    I personally though that AMB was *anything* to with mountian bikes, am I
    right?

    So as long as topics *are* about mountain bikes, then we should all play
    nice.

    I draw the line at repeated pathetic attempts to engage He Who Must Not Be
    Named into intelligent discourse.

    ps

  18. Not all Halfords mechanics are useless numpties, some of them are
    trained, have worked in the industry for a few years, and know what
    they are doing. Then again ones like that are normally trying to find
    proper bikeshops to work for again and escape the hellhole and/or only
    working there on a part time basis to fund their way through uni 🙂
    When you get told that you can't order a left hand 175mm Deore crank
    because it's not listed on the Halfords system it makes you want to cry
    with the sheer stupidity of it all. Then customers come in and buy the
    cheapest POS bike, regardless of the better bikes you recommend at the
    same price range, because the cheap shinyness attracts them like
    magpies.

  19. Can I poke fun at him? I restricted the intelligent discourse to email
    but as usual he pansied about not answering the questions properly and
    then resorted to insults in true troll style before ignoring me. So
    rather than attempt it on here I'll stick to poking fun if no one minds.

    Don't even get me started on the idiot at my local halfords, it was the
    manager that bailed me out in the end. 🙂
