ISTM that when you want to impress us with your manliness, you talk about high speeds and narrow escapes on super-rough trails. Now you want to back track and sound like a very ordinary rider. Maybe you should give us your average distances and average times. We'll do the division. I did that for you already if you had read carefully but maybe that's not quite your strength. My average trail speed is 10-12mph. On the road 13-15mph, depending on how hilly it is. Sometimes more but then I am very exhausted at the end and that's not my riding style. The material has to withstand higher trail speeds because 20mph on some stretches of trail is normal. Else the average would be much lower. It's go nothing to do with manliness. Other riders go at a similar clip and this includes women. Whether you believe it or not there's a few riders going significantly faster than I do. Not often on MTB but certainly on road bikes. Concerning material, yesterday I cleaned my old MTB trunk bag that got replaced by more sturdy panniers. It's made of pretty good nylon like backpacks. In the right side pocket I found a little rock piece and in the bottom of that pocket a 9mm hole. Since a bullet can't come from below and there also was no bullet in there I guess the rock made that. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

POCK. Didn't last long. Certain things happened that made them have a rather sudden change of heart and they took out the outdoor gun range. We all wrote letters to our congress reps and maybe that helped as well. The whole idea was daft to begin with. But in my case it was not a bullet. It's weird, a nice round hole in a nylon bicycle trunk bag. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

One of them took a substantial chunk out of the BB area of my friend's Specialized Enduro. I've seen it happen, he was riding in front of me. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
