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


Maybe following behind Joerg for a few hundred feet of
offroad climb before being dropped? That's pretty gnarly.

mainly US slang used to describe something extreme, especially
something that is very dangerous...

More dangerious than snake bite?

You seem to have snakes on the mind. Maybe you need viagra.

For example, my ride yesterday.

If you mess up and go over the edge on the right you can die. Which has
happened there.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gnarly

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 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.

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?

I'll have to first take it out to find out exactly what size it is. Then
put it back in until the new one gets here (will replace with the
hopefully better BB-ES51). The MTB has to do two more trips, less than
100mi total and it's not (yet) so bad that I'd be concerned. After that
I will remove the BB, look and order one.

I did the same with the road bike. There is was easier. On the old
adjustable kind you could rotate the cranks 180 degrees and get a
(partial) 2nd life out of the BB. Now it has a new UN-55.

I don't get it. If I need a part for my bike, I call the LBS and ask
him if it's in stock. If not, he'll order it and I get it in 2 weeks or
less. Granted, I don't live out there where you do.

Even if you want to mail order it, why do you have to take the BB out to
find out which one it is? You can't just find the model and get the
replacement part list and order it from that? I would guess that if you
had the model of the bike, Andrew Muzi could probably tell you which BB
you needed.

The LBS can't do that unless you tell him the exact part number you
want. Unfortunately the spec sheets of MTBs usually do not provide such
detail, mine only states "Octalink BB-ES25". There are several versions
of that and it must fit.

I could take my calipers, measure, order and hope for the best.
Personally I'd rather look and be sure.

No.

2013 Fuji Outland 29 1.5D.

Again, I'd rather look. I found some things on the MTB that I replaced
where not quite what the spec sheet says. Like with a lot of other gear.
For example, when reworking a wine fridge into a fermentation chamber
for beer I found that the official schematic of the electrical stuff in
there was wrong. First I had to take it apart, then find out what I
need. Now the other way around.

Yes, but even simpler just look at the crank model number on
the inside of the crank arm, measure BB width (68 or 73mm
for an MTB). That's definitive without removing anything.
