Oh man! I am a pretty hardcore MTB trail and gnarly road rider

What makes you say that?Â* Some examples, please, of what makes your
riding 'gnarly'

That definition isn't correct. Among mountain bikers at least out here
gnarly simply means what you describe below. A ride that is totally not
smooth, shakes bike and rider and one has to have reasonable skills or
will crash.


depends on where you are from there ...

if you're after a gnarly ride itsa different trip than going over a
'gnarly' section wit the intent of traveling from A-B

for me at 70 n occasionally gnarly prior, gnarly means constant
correction n balance maintaining forward speeds at moderate speed
levels...with an index for injury in failure to maintain as rock vs
grass berms ....trees....cliffs...Saturday night vehicle traffic


That pretty much sums up my ride yesterday. Nothing super spectacular
but fun. The only iffy part right now is that the BB is on its last legs
so I have to be prepared to hoof it out of there in case it seizes up.
That wouldn't be the end of the world either.


Why wouldn't you just replace the BB before it seizes up?
