The Tester Disapproves thread

....

A perfectly round stroke!

If only...

Also, buy a chain whip - you're going to need it when you want to take those shitty splined sprocket carriers off your hub threads.

The pointless round ball game.

The utter pointlessness of football is only surpassed by actually leaving the house to watch it on a slightly different sized television with a bunch of pissed-up wankers getting in the way and spilling beer on you :-)

B'Twin 500 chain tool. Makes all chain whips redundant (for cassettes with a smallest sprocket between 11 and 14 teeth). Not necessarily tester approved but bloody good.

Why would you want to hold your cassette by 3 teeth on the smallest sprocket when a chain whip can hold all the teeth on the biggest sprocket? Torque is the same (whatever is needed to loosen the lock ring), so holding on the larger radius reduces the tangential force, and spreads it over more teeth.

V brakes

Retro MTBs

Retro Mtbs really can do one

Think most people are just riding them to work which kind of seems ok.

Unacceptable

Fascist.

Is that anything that is more than 3yo, and therefore with the wrong wheel size, BB standard, suspension travel or head tube angle?

I've said this before but it clearly needs repeating - don't @ me in threads where I'm obviously already engaged, it's annoying to me and reflects badly on you.

kayo uno stem?

You mean you don't like people using the reply function or people actually typing @dancing james? Sorry, actual question.

Tester disapproves of this, I am not bothered by it

Oh lol

Lol. Author of this and WillMelling need to understand the rest of us aren't here to comply with their particular way of interacting with the forum.

@ and reply functions are there for a reason. Get to fuck you knobs.

Also loved a chiding a while ago where tester was laying into forum functionality or lack of action on VB's part and was reminded of his free advertising and selling platform of his low/no stack headset whatevers. May be knowledagble about a whole heap of bike shit, doesn't stop you being a tit.

@Lords need to chill. Harshing the forum vibe. We live in fear.
