  1. RA I think the key point is that you post way too much stuff that doesn't interest anybody. You seem to have this belief that anything that grabs your attention should be equally appealing to the masses. Perhaps your quirky titles pique the curiosity of some and lure them in for a quick view, but by and large you're just creating thread after thread that is of no interest to folks or completely lacking in context. Some may be viewing just to Ignore the Topic because there is no option to Ignore Topic from the thread listing itself (at least I don't think there is). The list below doesn't include your threads that have received 1, 2, 3 replies, nor does it include your threads that have created nothing but banter due to the poor content or lack of context. It also doesn't include yesterday's threads that still nave no replies, since it's possible they will buck the odds and actually gain traction. You've actually posted a few really good, active threads. The message here is to think more before you post new threads, and try to limit your posts to those that experience tells you will be popular, unless of course your true intent is just to be villainized. Just my two cents.

  2. Come on RA. Take a hint. You do not contribute in a positive way to this forum. Maybe it's time...you know....to move on.

  8. The free hubs may look the same but the shoulder where the cassette makes contact on the free hub may be different heights. I only know this because of the Hope hubs I have on my HT. The Hope hubs require a spacer behind the cassette for 10/11 speed Shimano to get the correct spacing. I have an extra spacer I'll let you have if you're interested.

  9. From the picture it just looks like the model you have wasn't really designed to accommodate the larger pin, which is probably why it came with a smaller one. Most 1 1/4" to 2" adapters slide over the entire mounting arm to ensure the pin hole remains centered. Since you have the cam tightening system on your 1 1/4 arm though, whatever special adapter is being used below the mounting arm to fill the gap in the 2" receiver is causing the hole to go above center. That definitely is not a problem with their racks that have a 2" mounting arm. My NV 2.0 came with the large heavy duty pin and everything lines up perfectly. Regarding theft protection, the large locking pin gives me piece of mind only for the rack itself. I keep it mounted almost all of the time and want it to stay put. Even with the locking pin on the rack and the integrated cable locks for the bikes, I would still would never leave my bike(s) on the rack out of my sight, not even in front of my house. I don't think you can ever be too paranoid when it comes to bike theft.

  10. For some reason mine is off for the heavy duty lock. It’s certainly not to make it more secure structurally, but if I was looking to steal a bike and saw a tiny piece of metal that could fit into bolt cutters I would attack that first. I know I’m being paranoid, but i also want to think of any weak points in my setup to help prevent theft. From all the posts I’ve seen the thefts are from no locks at all, but I want to be that person that gives the finger to even the pro and makes him work to steal my stuff.

  11. Lol, normally I hate people quoting him, but this is hilarious. Assisting startups is one of the things he does? He seems pretty damn poor, must not be very good at it.

  13. Wow, this just stirred up an old memory of finishing up a hike in the mountains near Santa Fe and insisting on giving two mountain bikers a ride into town, because a truly violent summer thunderstorm was starting to hit. They hid their bikes in some trees and accepted my offer and were glad they did when it started to hail. (They'd planned originally to just ride their bikes back into Santa Fe.)

  14. It’s like the entire forum exists just for one person. I wish all the nonsensical threads he starts could also be hidden.

  17. Where the calculator comes in is being able to relate an unknown experience to one that is familiar. If you already know how your 11-36 works with a 3X in front, and know which combination of front-rear cogs give you the gear selection you need, then you just find the right combination to match. This goes for any change to cassette or chainring, and you really shouldn't consider one without the other.
