Stone the heretic. Unpopular opinions

[Gila Man]

You do not have to pick a color and match everything on your bike... specifically looking at you Fox orange people.

You are wrong, you do have to pick a color and it SHALL BE ORANGE (thunderclap sound here)!

Let's have a fight!

Mudguards. Unless you go full commuter, they don't really work.

Tyres: Grip: Often as not is illusory but marketing is rampant. The existence of berms proves the thesis.

Derailleurs: Ancient relics that should be consigned to the dustbin of history. The only vehicles in production to have their transmission bits on the outside.

Ha, Ha. I pissed in your cup !!! Smile if you like it.

Why does it seem English speaking British bands lose their accent and sing in American English? Just take a listen… Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Rod Stewart, etc.., etc… Must be because everyone understands American English?

Nah it's because they're performative nonces...

I didn't see lostprophets in that list..

Also another unpopular opinion from me: anflow are the jaecoo of the emtb world

Some of youse are failing to understand the assignment. Brittle Americans who can't speak English are understandable, this though is just gibberish.

11 million Americans have pledged to uphold and protect the constitution yet none of them seem to have understood the assignment.

I got forced to do that, every morning for a week! the first 2 days the teacher stopped when he saw my mouth was closed and shamed me into doing it - still grinds my gears to this day.

Yes I do! Many people said I'd never make the big time but "here I am fellas, 5 gallons worth". Who's laughing now?

That was the last real bit of comedy the English ever produced!

You must not watch much Brit TV, because it is chocked FULL of cheeky humor that makes one think...oh, never mind.

You shouldn't wear a fox dropframe helmet if you're over 45 years of age.

If you have a mobile phone attached to your handlebars you're probably over biked

I am over somewhat more than 45, but my Fox Dropframe is the previous model.
Is that OK ?

Show me your working.

We in the colonies pronounce all words correctly.

Perhaps it's because we have these things called "dentists".

I have read - from British experts no less - that American english pronunciation is closer to proper 16th century english than current British english. So it's the Brits that strayed, not us!!

Name one song from those you named that sing in Ah Merry Can. Probably the most retarded Ah Merry Can post I've ever read. When singing we all lose our regional and national accents you bloody halfwit......even Aussies (no offense to our Antipodean brothers implied).. We all speak ENGLISH!

seeing as we're having a fight in here - wireless derailleurs can suck my ****

I upgraded to a cube one77 last month - love the bike to bits
but why do I want to pay £350 for a cassette, or £600 if I smash the derailleur, or £100 for a fecking chain!!!!

What was wrong with an £80 XT derailleur that ran forever and a £5 cable?

In the UK we get forced to recite prayers in primary (elementary) school every day for about 6 years. Sometimes in secondary (high) school as well. My reaction was the same as yours. At least your country actually exists.

Despite being a cheeseburger eating barbarian unit using luddite american, i still feel that grey should be spelled with an e and not with an A...

Correct:
grey - colour
Gray - name

Simples

This was in the UK we did a school swap for week, I stayed on an American base.

Looks like a typical American five-gallon hat. If you decide don it, that would be US laughing, to be clear.

American English? That’ll be “Simplified English”

You may be correct… we don’t want to be too complicated for British rockers, who’s music we love.

Maybe we should just change both to "hooz" to keep it easy for you.

Good effort, probably better to 'fess up to the cock up...the Internet has made mincemeat of all forms of English, so we are all in this together

Tires, not Tyres...

US =tires, rest of the world=tyres.
