Back in the day I met a certain local character at a demo so i asked buddy where he was making his bikes and it was Taiwan so why not Canada?

He told me Taiwan is where its at cuz the best welders are there the best factories are there, he can hop on a bike and ride up the street a few KM to find components or tubing factories or anything he needs ... its all right there  

and the beach was at the other end of the street

the guy who told me this^^ was a bike tourer who had done 8000km in AK & northern BC  he was on a bike with a der and his partner was on a Roloff ... said you tell coasting down hills

looks great but I wonder what compromises in chainstay length/placement there would be in the BB area that were eliminated by going with 1x ?  Also someone mentioned drag going down hill, I've been told a Roloff hub will have noticable drag coasting downhill compared to a traditional der setup?

yeah I looked at the Switch infinity path of movement on line and then the R3ACT thinking i had the answer but while it is a moving pivot I'm thinking so do the other VPP  ... another thing I don't understand along with religion 

yeah I read about the water bottle thing all the time and I think its just one guy making many posts

It looks to me like a single pivot with a main pivot that moves which reminds me of the Yeti Switch Infinity system SO its an obvious comparison ?

are the lakes uniformly wide everywhere ? I need a wide forefoot but a narrow heel & instep which has been up till now specialized shoes

I should say I was holding the bike up by the pedal when i gave it a tap with the hammer and it came easy but a  self extracting kit sounds like a good idea so where do you get them ?

Just like derailleurs and derailleur hangers there is no way to quantify how hard you hit something before it broke ... anecdotal

Yeti put that crank on their cheapest (a relative term) 5.5 sb and I like them, I went to a 28T ring so I had to pull the crank, my old crank puller was broken so I put an 11mm socket in the hole gave it a tap with the hammer and  bob's yer uncle

Like what? Pull people of color in off the street

exactly,  and then chain them to gear

Every foot is different so what works well for me probably will not be good for you

I don't use flats and i don't find foot beds necessary in clipless xc shoes

I do have custom made arch supports and I am a huge fan of the sole products in ski boots/hiking boots/other shoes

I think its because i have flat feet and the sole have a lot of arch support cuz I can't tell the difference between a 300$ custom and 40$ sole

Why would one assume everybody wants to do this stupid wet cold scary out door thing? i know that as part of the assimilation process, every year I see the school programs  dragging kicking and screaming young FN kids into skiing and boarding when they really just wana play with their devices and eat greasy fries

did you experiance  head set loosening off ?

all the star nut is suposed to do is help you adjust the head set, but if the stem keeps slipping a headlock device will work

I've used an Azonic headlok which is basicly just a long bolt to clamp the head set together

sounds like a bed sheet that has been washed many many times ... dull grey white

I think its wonderful that thanx to this latest advertising initiative, smiling off-white people will at least appear to suck

and a butler to keep the quiver running, back when I used to drop in at Red Shred's on the nite of a group ride I have heard him  say "Tony i would like to ride the FOR tonite " and the mechanic would make sure it was ready

Trump went to France for the remembrance day  services but canceled cuz it was raining

he must have been worried the orange dye would run in the rain ?

... ok maybe the gingers

I've seen this discussed elsewhere on the webz and its not an "oh isn't MEC wonderful !" its more likely to bring up the increasingly shitty focus of their current product line. And whats with the hand wringing when nobody did anything really wrong, nobody is about to be sent to jail or even lose a job, so most people are just saying shut up and get on with it

to answer the original question why white people suck, they  don't actualy ... its MEC who sucks
