  • Still haven't had my two cents and you know I'm prone to ranting.

    GG2G rides a bike. This is a good thing so stop with the fucking hostility.

    I used to, prior to fucking my knee, ride 81GI brakeless. Is this sensible, would you condone it, would you do it yourself? Possibly. Possibly not.

    I dropped my GI after the fateful 50*14 ride. I still ride brakeless. MY GI is now around 72-73. I'm missing two ligaments in my left knee (Dominant leg). Is this sensible, would you condone it, would you do it yourself? Possibly. Possibly not.

    Would you drop the GI more if you were in my postition. Would you add a front or even a rear brake. Would you go for the surgery to fix your injury despite the inherent risks involved? Would you stop riding? Get gears? Quit Polo & mountain biking? BMX & Skating? Buy a custom fitted carbon knee brace? Wear the inferior one you already owned more frequently? Live in a fucking box and do nothing incase you hurt yourself more? Is any of this sensible, would you condone it, would you do it yourself? Possibly. Possibly not.

    The point is that it's my bike. I have the ability to ride it in a particular way and couldn't give a shit what you think. My way is not your way is not your friends way is not your brothers hookers uncles way.

    GG2G can make his own choices too. He never asked how to spin. He asked

    I need a bigger gear. Would a jump to 48x15 be too much of a step?
    . Answer the fucking question instead of getting on your high horse because you believe your way to be best. Your way is just that. Yours.

    GG2G. 48*15 isn't a massive leap from what you currently ride and London is plenty flat enough. Go try it and see. Come back and let us know how it goes.
