The FAQ

[Monique Y. Herm]

http://www.j-harris.net/bike/ambfaq.htm

I checked it out and it seems like the formatting just kind of disappears toward the end ...
starting around section 4. Questions are no longer separated into distinct paragraphs, etc.

Also, the link about clipless pedals points to a non-existent page.

No biggie; just thought I'd point it out, since it was posted recently.

And the font is a pain in the ass to read, too. Too squinched up, even on a big monitor. Although
maybe that's just me and my middle aged eyeballs.

I had to take my glasses off, and scoot on up to the monitor. I've overdue for bi-focals.

It's unfinished - that's the beta version of the FAQ. I linked to it earlier because it had a
revised section in there about JD (which'll be revised again, incidentally).

One day, when the weather's bad and I'm in the country I'll pull it all together.

For the time being the current FAQ is at http://www.t-online.de/~jharris/ambfaq.htm (although that's
not a huge amount better...)

I just checked it out for the first time and that font is indeed horrible. The only thing that would
make it worse would be red on a black background.

No big deal. At least it can be changed, and uploaded in a matter of seconds.

It actually looks fine in my browser, Netscape 7.0 under Linux/KDE.

The link for the clipless pedal FAQ has changed.

It is now http://members.cox.net/jhnmorgan/mtb/CliplessFAQ.txt

Please note that the only thing that has changed is MTB has been changed to lowercase "mtb"

I didn't know my server was case sensitive.. oops.

Ya left out the never ending Tubeless debate...

... and Courier 12 is a very readable font.

Thanks for maintaining the FAQ!

Thanks for the link, all I can say is: "Clipless pedals aid in bunny hopping and jumping as well."

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Thats it I'm writing a faq on proper pedals aka flat pedals.

Steve.

I don't know what I was thinking...

People can use whatever they like, as long as they realise they have a choice of whether to use
clipless or not.

Steve.

although obviously choosing to use clipless pedals is the choice of an insane peson.

Why are you frustrated by the fact that clipless pedals make it easier to bunny hop? Better question
yet, why are you reading a FAQ about clipless pedals expecting to find information about flat pedal
techniques? We know from your comments here that you prefer platforms... so what?

They don't. They make it easier for people who can't bunny-hop to pull both wheels a small way off
the ground.

I was just reading through the faq as a whole, and as I used to use SPD's but now prefer flats I
like to think I have a semi-objective opinion.

So at least let people make up their own minds, and don't feed them b*llsh*t!

Steve.
