  • There is no world out to get me. There are just 3 individuals that wish to provoke me at every turn. One is banned,.....but still posting. One guy pretends to be what he is not, and always refers to an obviously ficticious girlfriend....though he does have a great collection of really lovely bikes. And the last one lives in internet superhero land, where he can safely send bolts of lightning through his computer.

    You are none of those 3, and are not out to get me. Whether you like me or not, I think you're alright.

  • Let's get this straight cunt, I know Ed, and Ed knows me. He's known me for years, and we agree and disagree on many things. I view Ed as a mate/colleague, as with other longer standing forumengers on here. The prick here is you. And you are the first idiotic fool to call me little, in more than 30 years. When Ed is wrong, people say so; it doesn't stop him from giving his opinion on anything, and that is the mark of a man with confidence.

    I like Ed, and have admired many things about him for years. He's a good bloke, and his heart is in the right place. Now fuck off back to your mother, before you make more of a cunt of yourself. Next time, know something, before you show that you know nothing.

    My response is all the stronger because you are probably n***, hiding behind yet another alias, and I despise your little cuntish lack of any backbone.

    hmm-bringing up someone's disability when it is of absolutely no relevance makes it pretty clear who the prick is. I'm not so sure what you mean about being an alias but I can see why you would inspire dislike, the amount rep I got for the comment is enough to confirm that. anyway, I'm happy enough to leave you to your malignant narcissism and paranoia, praise be to the ignore function because you're now on it, bye bye douchebag.

  • This thread is so 2009.

  • hmm-bringing up someone's disability when it is of absolutely no relevance makes it pretty clear who the prick is. .........

    Ed doesn't view his deafness as a disability, and neither do I. His is an extremely able-bodied person, and HE knows that my saying (in other words) my deaf mate, was not meant in any malicious way.

  • you are probably n***

    Whoah, Ashe, you can't use the 'n' word. Or are you going to tell me you're allowed to, just because you're, you know, fat.

  • Try not running your tyres at max psi. Fine if you're riding on a perfectly flat surface but not on our roads.

    Anyway, ^this. I opted to run 23s at 90psi front and rear this morning, because it was pissing down, and there was also the possibility I'd be in the saddle for 7 hours (*that *didn't happen, but the comfort would've been nice had it done). Absolutely no problem smashing into speedhumps repeatedly on a 10% descent at ~35mph. Very repeatedly. Then again, I'm like totally fucking awesome at riding a bike and shit, and float over road irregularities like the fucking Saviour walking on water.

    I think we all need to step back from this thread and ask: WWJD? Especially today.

  • edscoble...................taking Fail to whole new levels.

    Wider tyres have lower rolling resistance, this have been around for quite some time, it's just conventional wisdom that narrower, firmer tyres = better performance.

  • I think we all need to step back from this thread and ask: WWMDCCD? Especially today.

    Fixed.

  • No fucking way. He's just regurgitating stuff from the bike forums of yore. I thought you'd be aware of that, seeing as that's where you get all your stuff from too, even if you do misquote pathologically.

  • Jesus, FTW.

  • Plus, Jesus could heal your deafness and GA2G's blackness.

    Group hug. :-)

  • This forum rocks - although laughed out loud too many times, woke up the baby and now she's going spare!!!

    Reason I posted this was that when I started commuting on the 'sad boy' an oik from Evans told me that buying some slicks would speed up my commute (and being an idiot I believed him and bought some gator skins). In reality I think the speeds of a commute is more down to avoiding traffic lights and getting stronger legs). Now has anyone know where you can get hold of those magic beans.....

    What you did wrong was listen to some nerd who works in Evans Cycles about anything.

    Closet priest?

  • n*** = ?

  • Sounds like a case for...

    SUPER MDCC !!!!

    (Does he have a cape ?)

    capes aren't aero

    I think we need a "this thread needs Tester" meme.

    and for the last time, capes are aero

  • Thanks Apollo.

    All he needs is an aero helmet grin

    What, where, or as who do you believe DJ is still posting? Or am I missing something...?

    You've been pretty quiet for a while, but here you've come out with some nasty remarks, must you be so abrasive?

  • Hi Cunts

  • What, where, or as who do you believe DJ is still posting? Or am I missing something...?

    He did, easylover, but I banned the alias on Saturday morning.

    Why people believe I don't know this stuff is beyond me.

  • Has this been resolved yet?

  • With traffic lights and traffic, you can ride just about any old piece if shit and arrive at the same time.

    I reckon this is true, if anyone cares anymore.
