I like The Offspring too, but I'm not sure what that's got to do with his question.

@bradybrady You realise the two gear ratios you mention have practically identical gear inches? So I doubt you'll notice any difference. Though save your knees, go a little spinnier. Something about 69" I'd recommend.

If it's a choice between a proper front brake or an epic tattoo of a clock or some skulls or a gypsy rose, I know which I'd choose to avoid looking like a prick.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
