No. They grow their own. They don't want that dirty ass natural shit

Hippy anti vax mom's however will pay through the nose for those healing crystals.

There are probably more healing vibes in that rock than all of the NRA's thoughts and prayers.
Had a "customer" tell me he couldn't wear the ring I made specifically for him anymore because it had bad JuJu on it. I say customer, but his fiancé paid the tab on the rings. Just learned today that they are divorced.

Soon they will start pace-lining around the lake on the dirt road while completely decked out in racer boi skin suits. Throw in noobs who can't for the life of themselves figure out which side of the road to use, and it's a shit show.

I have too...like a e-bike named after you (with a @jstuhlman special handlebar) :thumb:

no.

once at a bike park, at the top, getting off the lift was a dude. with an old bike, not ancient but not modern. wanna say it was a c'dale prophet. features:

-loose headset
-loose front brake caliper (which was oddly on the drive side of the bike)
-loose front hub
-fork was on backwards

the fork in question was some old manitou freeride fork. guy didn't realize that manitou's use a reverse arch, he installed it (poorly) under the assumption that all fork arches go forward.

he was asking if i had a multitool, i responded no, and *strongly* suggested he get back on the lift, go down the mountain, and fix it before he hurt himself.

Come on now, who hasn't rebuilt a bike aided by a few too many beers and noticed a few "off" things in the morning. :busted:

Granted, you usually fix that stuff before actually riding the damn thing.

I once showed up for a ride without a rear brake when I was a noob. Holy hell did I become a better rider that day.

i hit farlow in pisgah with a "loose" headset. half way down i decide to open it up and see what was what. small parts flew everywhere. i shut that shit right back up, tightened it up as much as i could, and finished up. brought it to the hub and they were like "dude, half your internals are missing. wtf?"

Is it wrong for me to judge you for taking a headset problem to a shop?

I used to carry a headset wrench in my Camelback with my old rigid bike way back when. Had to stop 3 times on the way down Porc Rim to tighten it... probably should have looked into Loctite.
