Those inevitably turn out to be baaaaadClaes said:An idea could perhaps be to have an "advanced" section or a part where you explicitly state that newbie questions do not belong?

hwttdz said:I don't mean to be mean I'm just tired of reading posts asking the same question and then people telling them to bugger off, so hopefully if you're tired of a post you can post here and then they can come look here rather than starting that again. I'll start.
Question: What bike should I buy?
Answer: Ask your local bike shop (lbs).

Why not have the Forum do a Stickyhwttdz said:That's a good idea. "faqs: those new to the forum look here" who could we get to write it though. And what questions would it have?
hwttdz said:So far it looks like we have
What bike should I buy?
Is bike weight important?
What's the best bike under 1000$
What is better Campy or Shimano?
Double or Triple?
Hybrid or road bike?
If you feel like there is another question, since I just took some of the ones from this thread, add it.

seems like you went out of your way to bash the posters in this thread. Don't get your panties in an uproar !!! Nobody seems 2 b belittleing anyone, just posting basic facts which may b of use to others.One does'nt have 2 b a pro or a vet 2 have a basic working knowledge of bicycle setup. Read some of the previous posts relating 2 your concern a couple of pages back.sparknote_s said:Us noobs might not know as much as the vets on this board, or be as fast, but at least we spend more time riding than we do reading a bike forum -- whoever started this thread needs a life, who the f cares if people post messages you don't want to read on the forum? Don't f'in read it dumbass. You tell us to use the search button, well you need to refrain from the [mouse] button
