Tool's in the shed

Sorry, just wanted clarification here. I have been on this site for 3 days, trying to find out as much about track bikes etc as I'm putting a bike together to take home with me to oz. Along the way I have left a few comments and made a few mistakes only to be pulled up by various users with salty smart arse comments left after the fact. Furthermore these are only backed up by other equally geeky users trying to make make people feel dumb WTF?

This has happened on a number of occasions - it strikes me as weird. I have loved and been involved in all sorts of cycling and met some great friends through "biking". I know guys who have ridden road in the olympics, people who are currently riding on the mtb world tour and a good school friend beat Matt Hoffman on a vert ramp at the suzuki worlds last year. I am fortunate to know english guys who run their own bike and distribution companies. I reckon I'm pretty qualified to say that, in general, people in cycling are cool.

I genuinely feel this is a site for people who like bikes, are interested in bike culture in many forms and want to converse with people on the topic. feels a little like high school (secondary school) when the library monitors buzzed around looking to find someone who had misplaced a book.......

So thanks to those who have gotten back to me on stuff, others however, need to learn some manners, patience and tolerance and FUCK OFF. U dudes give fixies a bad name i.e Geeks on bikes built for men with balls to be ridden at break neck speeds but spend most of their time on computers looking for more and more expensive shit to mask their inability to actually ride a bike well......

looking forward to spring and summer here and summer back home on my new ride... ride safe

dayno

you've obviously missed the threads about people doing memorial rides, handing out easter eggs in the kiddies hospitals, fundraising for the courier emergency fund…

enjoy your new whip when you get back home, there's nowt as lovely as cruising down a coastal road in the sunshine and there's plenty of crews to hook up with when you get back

oh, and in the words of one of your countrymen you really should HTFU

Fuck off.

Well, someone had to! :-)

P.S. The majority of people on this site know each other and the banter in most threads reflect this. Come along to your nearest drinks before you go and you'll meet some genuinely interesting and sorted people.

FUck off then HTFU name dropper

WHy do you feel the need to post this thread? Use the search this has been covered before... ;-)

Loose the attitude and ride, HTFU, Use the search and justfuckinggoogleit.

I was all excited to talk about what tools I have, even tho I've not got a shed, and I find this crap!

Waste my time why don't you.

Oh, and what they said etc.

Seems like you answered your own issue there.

You've been on the site for 3 days. There's a vibe to this place that you've no hope of tuning into over such a short time frame.

We do all know each other in person, for the most part, by being social and getting out and drinking and riding together. I'm sorry that by only being on here for 3 days that you you missed out on all of that and completely missed the point of the social aspect of things.

Sure it's strange and intimidating if you're an outsider, but welcome to the forum. HTFU and go be social.

"beat Matt Hoffman off on a ramp" indeed. Your friend sounds like a pervert.
As has been said above, an awful lot of us know each other in real life, and if we don't we go to the pub or on a ride and get to know each other. We talk like this to each other's faces, despite what my avatar says.

Liking bikes is a given, which leaves us free to talk bollocks at each other, call each other racists, tell each other to HTFU or FO and all the rest of the banter you seem so distressed by.

And I too am disappointed by the lack of sheds in this topic, and the greengrocer's apostrophe in the thread title.

Oh yeah, tonight is SE and North drinks, and tomorrow is Easts. Thursday is Wests. get down to one or all, have a jar with us and see that you've got us all wrong.

I know! I was gutted as well.

Ah well, whilst i'm here: I got a new toolbox this weekend. Currently all three draws have tools organised by size. YES!!!

Metric and SAE?

hahahahha - i'll take it - harden the fuck, this is in fact, banter. The other shit i am talking about, is shit, banter only exists when indeed you know someone, i wouldn't expect someone to be rude to me or others around me in a pub, so in the instances i was talking about, no banter just plain fucking rudeness = stef-an rudeness..... LOL

tissue?

Metric and SAE?

Indeed. It is a thing of beauty.

Will probably only last a week but the completion is the same feeling when you have a bank holiday washout and decide to alphabetise your CD/ DVD collection. Joy.

i am itching for the day i meet a "stefaan".. bloody itching!

When you're proper OCD you alphabetise your socks. By name.

Thank god i haven't got to that stage yet. Although, at this rate it probably wont be long.

To keep the tool thread going, i have also ordered one of these today: http://www.hubjub.co.uk/etc/crackerzm.htm . Going to be so much better not having to judge when the pin is about to fall out.

BTW, i really want a shed.

Tool's what is in the shed?

I have one of these and can confirm that they are the shit. They're not light, though.

i know quite a few of your "breddren", had many a beer with some and even lived in the same flats as some of them, you'd be surprised who I know actually. I have been to the Ivy as well, and well, exclusivity fucking reeks!!!

yep, as i thought, just like school
