I used to have a flatmate like that.I had a mate who used to ride everywhere in 6th gear on a 18 speed mtb, if we went up a steep hill he'd start pushing.. id say "why don't:yell: you change gears" and he'd say "I cant be bothered"... Used to drive me crazy!!:yell:
OH oh noooo..... ahahahahThat chain tensioners stopped your chain falling off so you could run the bolts loose on your so you would have a little bit of suspension?
so i treked it to the petrol station and bought myself a puncture repair kit with all the right intentions, and proceeded to attempt patching the tire it'self blissfully unaware of the existance of an item called a 'tube'
30 minutes later after patching up what my friend and i beleived where the leaking 'holes' in the tire, we pumped and pumped and pumped to no avail i ended up walking home and getting my dad to take it to the bicycle store which resulted in the subsequent bemused looks of the emplyess when we rolled the bike in with a flat and about 5 patches (orange ones) stuck to the outside of the tire!
Are you suggesting this doesn't work???When I started riding this morning I thought that having watched the tour for the last 2 weeks that I would somehow be stronger.
I still do.I used to lube my chain with oil in one of these:
I feel the same, I gave up treddlies when I was 17 for road bikes and cars, although I'm only 20 now, thanks to a nice incident involved me on the r1 and a old lady I t boned...Im back to pushiesStarted riding at age 3 and I thought when I turned 18 and gave up the bikes for cars I would never go back to bikes. That lasted from 18 to 25, but lots of bikes from 25 to now and forever!
It's a pleasant necessity that I just can't and don't want to shake and never will!
I still do!I thought 20 k's was to the end of the earth and back.
