    What happened to good manners

    Well if you are the number the one narcissist in the USA or at least ahead of whoever is number two he must feel entitled to call people derogitory names. What a crude and disrespectful idiot.

    What happened to good manners

    Please and thank you are just plain good manners in my opinion. In days gone by men always removed their hats when in public places, church and certainly while eating in a restaurant etc. We also opened the door for ladies. It looks like some didn't teach their children or just didn't know better.

    Shimano shifters

    Maybe something is bent and not lining up properly. I have had three and they all worked fine. I had to bend some parts so components would line up properly. Look straight on from behind the bike to see if all looks lined up and straight and nothing looks twisted.

    Vado Derestriction

    How about installing a switch that shuts the restrictor on and off as one is riding on private land or a public place where speed is restricted. I could set my RCS up like that on the display. This leaves it up to the responsibility of the operator to follow the rules and regulations of the...

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    I didn't mean to start something it was just food for thought. Seat posts and the frames are pretty much designed to take the weight in line with the post. Bicycle frames and seat-posts carrying strength vary a lot. If you have a steel frame and seatpost there is probably no way you can break them.

    Offset Saddle Adapter

    Great idea and I am sure it works well but I would be a bit concerned about the leverage of sitting that far to the back of the seat post center and that it may over stress and bend or break the post or worse yet the bike frame, especially if used by a heavy rider operating on rough surface...

    Anyone else still putting miles on their RipCurrent S?

    I had a RCS like you only an earlier model that I loved the crap out of. It was just a nice riding unit that in my opinion had the right geometry. I didn't have to fix anything on mine except a couple of chains. I sold it with 1800 miles on it and the two bikes since just don't feel as good in a...
