Who's that UGLY BASTARD

Yeah I think that's who it is. RC ha? That's the guy who answers questions like.

Hey RC, I have a Norco 125. I'm thinking about putting a Super Monster on it so I can do downhill and 80' drops. Do you think the headtube can handle the fork? Also, I'm only running a 22T up front. For some reason on long descents, I pedal like 240rpm but don't get the speed I need. What do you think the problem is?

Yeah, it's a sorry ass mag. I just look at the pictures, and once in a while they'll review a cool bike. Or better yet, once I saw a shootout between someing vs. Specialized FSR and believe it or not, the something actually won. Imagine that?

I think RC has to go, but I like the shootouts and head-to-head reviews. They should do more for DH and FR (I mean Black Diamond:)).

No, I think the people who ask RC have to go...

"I have a klein palomino (sp?). I have it built up for DH/FR. Do you think I should ride DH/FR on it? It's fast and light, but I think it would be a good DH/FR bike..." God, I want to hurt that guy.

If RC's the guy that recommended a 888 as a DJ fork for a Haro Xtreme, then I agree, he has to go... WOO I just contradicted myself, huh?

You're right, some of the people who write to RC are absolute retards. I say he should always tell them to do what they're planning, and if they're stupid enough to try it, such as DH'ing a Klein Palomino, the problem will take care of itself.:)

You are serious? That is the worst part of that magazine. Stick figures riding bikes would be better. Their photographers should have their shutter fingers cut off.

Hey RC, I was thinking about getting into dirt jumping, can you reccomend a good starter jump bike for me?

RC: Try a 1992 Marin trail bike, the Steal frame should hold up nicely, and it will be cheap to replace with the damages caused by dirt jumping!

RC...................... What a dumb Ass!

Let's come up with a question and let's ask RC.

Me: What is the best fork in the whole world for anyone who rides a bike?

RC: The Marzocchi 888.



Me: I ride a 1995 Trek hardtail. Does it fit me?

RC: No, you need a 130mm stem and a Marzocchi 888.



Me: I have an older Specialized S-Works cross-country hardtail. Can I make it into a downhill bike?

RC: Definitely, but you need to buy new bars, stem, wheelset, cranks, platform pedals, bottom bracket, disc brakes, headset, saddle, seatpost, and a Marzocchi 888.

Wow. You guys are a bunch of hooked fish again.......

I'll bet you any money he comes up with the questions himself. Then plants his tongue firmly in his cheek to write the answers.

Pack of friggin fish, you are. Even hooked by the more obvious trolls.....
