AustinBike Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I loaned him some tools and stupidly did not get his phone number. He was real responsive on PMs and now is not responding. I need to fix my cassette and cannot reach him. If you know him, can you ping him for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyyhorn Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I don’t know him, but was searching the forum to see if I knew anyone that did. Only user name had “n” instead of “in”. @Chris_n_atx is the person right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yes. He messaged me this morning after I posted this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckt Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 When you posted this in the "Pay it forward" thread, I thought you might be paying them forward Are you in Austin? I can leave the cassette tools out for you if you want to swing by (central Austin) ...perhaps he thought the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Nah, in the PMs it was very clear that they were not PIF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinBike Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 So, I think we can all learn some valuable lessons here. #1 don't loan tools to someone you don't know. If you do, get some collateral. #2 @Chris_n_atx is definitely not a man of his word. Been chasing him for several weeks now with lots of "you'll have them today, no BS" replies yet he's never shown up. So I am out a handful of tools. What pisses me off the most was I also left some vice grips for him. He did not say he needed them but I was trying to be extra helpful. Says a lot about character. If anybody ever comes across him, please let me know. He's probably blocked my texts which is why he has no longer replies to my messages. I guess it's time to go buy replacements.

Tree Magnet Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 You’re a good man AB loaning tools and it sucks that someone screwed you. Austin is big but the MTB community isn’t that big. Odds are with all the riding you do, you’ll run into him and hopefully this was all just a misunderstanding.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well I'm 99.9% it is was not a misunderstanding. Apparently some people just don't give a shit about others once they get what they want. They're also not aware of how much info is out on the internet. Luckily I'm not an ass. I could have called his girlfriend's parents saying I was looking for him because he ripped me off. That would have been an uncomfortable 6 months. But I'm not that guy. And, yeah, 30 minutes on the Google and I had their number. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tip Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 "Anyone Know Chris_in_atx?" Sure I know him, that son of a bitch owes me money!! I'm kidding. I don't know him. But people suck sometimes. I think that 90% of people are good. The problem is the other 10% keep reaffirming that "people suck sometimes" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
