Oh, look at that... The boys are playing with each other.

Is he like just pacing back and forth in front of his computer waiting for me to post something? This is getting kind of creepy.

Here's an interesting comment to the above linked article... "I think it’s funny that people think they need more than seven or eight gears. If it’s the same ratio of gears why do we need more? We are more than seven gears right now because no one who rides a bike understands we’re better with seven. It works better, you have the same ratio and you saved a whole bunch of parts. You save money you saved weight you shaved shifting problems. Thank you for nine now bring us seven !!!"

Here's a follow up to the Seth Bike Hacks bit on Box big cog 9-speed offering... https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/Only-9-Speeds-Is-Simpler-Better-BOX-Launches-Prime-9-Drivetrain,2760

Maybe his "...ignore..." button isn't working so well.

But it seems it's still the same... Tire size related... Not tire brand related.

And here's 10, 500,000 with a more specific, "...changing mountain bike gear ratios with tire brand..." question...

So I did a Google search for "...changing gear ratios with tire brands..."... And got 27,900,000 results. Wow! None though, it seems... Are related to changing ratios with tire brands... Tire size... Yes... But tire brands... Not as far as I can see. But maybe I need to keep looking...

But hey... You're the man who said... And I quote... "My preferred ratios can change with brands of tires." That's a classic if there ever was one.

Oh shoot... This is even more brutal... You really know how to pick, ahh, unique memes.

Yeh... Good one, old man... You got me for sure.

Yeh... Nah... You can do better than that... Come on... Give it a try.

Not possible.

Maybe he really doesn't know what "ignore" means.

Understanding you're not too bright... Let me explain... And then hopefully your BFF can quote it so you can see what you are claiming you ignore. Here you go... "...And I wondered... No... Not how many princesses there are out there in mtb land... But [what] experience others have had regarding "...preferred ratios..." changing with tire brand being used?" And in-between the fluffy girlie stuff... There have been one or two proper responses.

LOL... Yeh... That's what he probably thinks when he gets out his little ruler.

Like candy from babies... So easy.

You can take the people out of MOJO... But you can't take the MOJO out of people.

LOL... It just goes over your head, that's all. Don't feel bad. You're not alone it seems.

Not me... Get your, ahh, thinking correct.

Yep.

Saw someone speak about this product line for cleaning their bike... Now... For clarity... Context... This is a line of auto cleaners... That someone on another forum referenced regarding doing a great job cleaning their mountain bike. Are there any riders here that have used this brand, or used other brands they can give a review on? Sorry... Correction... https://www.cowrc.com/Sprays-&-Grease-c12842156

Coffee... It'll do that to you.

Maybe we go ride it one day. I'm not big on larger group rides... But two or three is fine. And I'm thinking there's another 4+ miles in the area west of Beckett... And then there's 5+ miles at Slaughter Creek... And maybe another 4+ miles just in the Circle C area behind ATX and west of Mopac all the way to 1826. That adds another maybe 13+ miles to the 18 on the Strava map, just in that Dick Nichols/Circle C area.
