Who makes RBT slimy underfoot by drooling at their own viciousness?

Not only that but he actually thinks that I would read more than a sentence out of his bull****. Normally I don't read him at all except for the stuff that people have quoted. He doesn't even know that the military had changed to the .308 when newer forms of faster burning (more powerful) powder were developed. He just keeps getting into it deeper and deeper. A 30-06 has a bullet diameter of .308".

Goodness Gracious! Are you really sure? Can it be?

But of course the 30-06 has a bullet diameter of .308 inches... But
then, the 20-40 Krag, which is properly called the ".30 Army" used a
.308 bullet. Adopted by the U.S. Army in 1894, the first cartridge
adopted by the US Army that was specifically designed for smokeless
powder.

Then we have the M1A1 carbine that had a .308 bullet diameter, and
the 30-30, once a common "deer rifle", and the .300 Savage, which my
father preferred, and the .300 Remington Magnum and the 300 Remington
Short Action Magnum, and the 300 Weatherby Magnum, and, and, and.

There are at least 20 different cartridges that all use a .308" bullet
diameter.

You ignorant oaf.

I've read through this whole name-calling exchange and there's at least one thing I don't understand: what is RBT?

What you have unfortunately witnessed in this group is the fact that those that know bicycle mechanics generally have few questions about it and most of those who don't know bicycle technology prefer to turn this group into a garbage pit of their opinions.

:-) That was posted by the guy who required a dozen posts and maybe two
weeks to install a bottom bracket. And I won't even try to recall all
his confusion about Di2!

I don't know what Sir is mis-remembering. Yes, I did two bottom brackets
last week. No, unlike Tom, I didn't require repeated questions here to
figure out how to do the job. I did the job, then mentioned it afterward.

So far, I've had absolutely zero problems with Di2. I have a foolproof

Tell us Frank - what do you know about Di2? I have no memory of problems with bottom brackets but maybe you're using the time I have the concussion and no short term memory because you believe your complete bull**** is better than the truth?

That must be because you're a complete Di2 genius and knew from the first that there are three or four different versions of the external battery mount that all look exactly the same but are not interchangeable.

There is certainly something really wrong with people that do not have any answers but belittle others who also don't. Until I went to a bike shop that knew exactly where to get the Shimano interchangeability parts list none of you jackasses knew anything of value.

Why don't you tell us what the difference is between the Shimano 7970 and the 9070?

Dude, don't make out like you're some genius. What has it been, a month that you've been struggling with assembling your Di2? Have you even got it working yet? Frank -- or any reasonably competent person -- could buy a Di2 component group and install it in a morning -- O.K., maybe longer for wire routing. It's not rocket science. You make it hard by buying a lot of mismatched crap second hand without checking compatibility before buying it. It's like shooting yourself in the leg and then congratulating yourself on being an expert in wound management.

And who cares about the f****** product numbers. You just look them up on Google or the Shimano site.

I have a friend like that. She's always buying some used piece of
technology then she's upset when it doesn't work as she thought. Cell
phones, laptops, printers, instead of buying something new, which she
could afford, she thinks she's saving money on craigslist but she's
actually spending more than she needs to.

But of course the 30-06 has a bullet diameter of .308 inches... But
then, the 20-40 Krag, which is properly called the ".30 Army" used a
.308 bullet. Adopted by the U.S. Army in 1894, the first cartridge
adopted by the US Army that was specifically designed for smokeless
powder.

Then we have the M1A1 carbine that had a .308 bullet diameter, and
the 30-30, once a common "deer rifle", and the .300 Savage, which my
father preferred, and the .300 Remington Magnum and the 300 Remington
Short Action Magnum, and the 300 Weatherby Magnum, and, and, and.

There are at least 20 different cartridges that all use a .308" bullet
diameter.

You ignorant oaf.

I've read through this whole name-calling exchange and there's at least one thing I don't understand: what is RBT?

What you have unfortunately witnessed in this group is the fact that those that know bicycle mechanics generally have few questions about it and most of those who don't know bicycle technology prefer to turn this group into a garbage pit of their opinions.

:-) That was posted by the guy who required a dozen posts and maybe two
weeks to install a bottom bracket. And I won't even try to recall all
his confusion about Di2!

What! Frank has switched to electric shifting?
(what is the world coming to?)

I don't know what Sir is mis-remembering. Yes, I did two bottom brackets
last week. No, unlike Tom, I didn't require repeated questions here to
figure out how to do the job. I did the job, then mentioned it afterward.

So far, I've had absolutely zero problems with Di2. I have a foolproof
method for avoiding Di2 problems! ;-)

I'm not mis-remembering anything. I was referring to Tom not you.

That must be because you're a complete Di2 genius and knew from the first that there are three or four different versions of the external battery mount that all look exactly the same but are not interchangeable.

There is certainly something really wrong with people that do not have any answers but belittle others who also don't. Until I went to a bike shop that knew exactly where to get the Shimano interchangeability parts list none of you jackasses knew anything of value.

Why don't you tell us what the difference is between the Shimano 7970 and the 9070?

Dude, don't make out like you're some genius. What has it been, a month that you've been struggling with assembling your Di2? Have you even got it working yet? Frank -- or any reasonably competent person -- could buy a Di2 component group and install it in a morning -- O.K., maybe longer for wire routing. It's not rocket science. You make it hard by buying a lot of mismatched crap second hand without checking compatibility before buying it. It's like shooting yourself in the leg and then congratulating yourself on being an expert in wound management.

And who cares about the f****** product numbers. You just look them up on Google or the Shimano site.

No Tommy, it isn't. It is just you telling lies again.

I'm still a bit undecided just why you tell lies. Whether it is simply
because you are ignorant? Or maybe, like your lord and master, the guy
with the blond comb-over, you lie to inflate your ego, or perhaps is
just the "crazy pills" that you take.

But for whatever reason you lie!

Not only that but he actually thinks that I would read more than a sentence out of his bull****. Normally I don't read him at all except for the stuff that people have quoted. He doesn't even know that the military had changed to the .308 when newer forms of faster burning (more powerful) powder were developed. He just keeps getting into it deeper and deeper. A 30-06 has a bullet diameter of .308".

Goodness Gracious! Are you really sure? Can it be?

Is this some sort of trick question? I mean, who cares about the
difference between a Shimano whatever and a Shimano whichever. As
Frank says, most of us have figured out how to get by without any
problems with shifting. Shoot, when I was living in S. Thailand my
neighbor's kid, maybe 10 years old, could shift his bicycle with any
problems at all.

And here you are, seventy-something years old and complaining about
how difficult it is.

I have a friend like that. She's always buying some used piece of
technology then she's upset when it doesn't work as she thought. Cell
phones, laptops, printers, instead of buying something new, which she
could afford, she thinks she's saving money on craigslist but she's
actually spending more than she needs to.

It's doable with bikes, but you have to do your homework, and you get punished if you guess wrong about compatibility. There is a reason cheap stuff is cheap. There are also more subtle generational changes that make a difference, particular with the Shimano disc brakes. Some designs were notorious for having bad internal seals. Hose types and terminations are different, too. DuraAce 10sp was not all that good anyway, and the trickle-down Ultegra was better.

Another wonderful invention is the nearly hole-less, guide-less bicycle frame like my son's Tarmac. It was built for wireless eTap, and you're screwed if you want to run anything else. For people buying stuff off FleaBay, they have to look at how holey art the frame and whether it has or can have ordinary cable guides, or whether it has exit holes for Di2 FD wires, etc. If I wanted to run cable derailleurs on my Synapse (which has U Di2), I'd have to snap in a bunch of plastic frame parts that I have in a bag somewhere in the basement and then plug a bunch of holes -- but at least that frame lets you pick what you'll do.
