A bike that even Joerg couldn't break?

I carry only tools that cannot be replaced by a McGyver trick. A chain can be fixed without a chain tool so why carry one? Are you f****** kidding? You carry a tool so you can repair your chain in five minutes instead of an hour looking for a nail, rock, etc., etc. That's crazy. Why carry any tools when you can build a small forge and beat a nail into a hex wrench, etc., etc.? I rather carry an extra bottle of water, dextrose tablets and such in case I find a hiker who grossly underestimated their hydration and energy need. There were a few. One of them was already passed out on the ground. And he or she wasn't eaten by a mountain lion? Thank Buddha. Why not take an automatic emergency defibrillator or some field dressings and splints? Maybe the downed hiker needed insulin -- take some of that too. But don't burden yourself with a 185g multi-tool. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/u...gc lsrc=aw.ds That would be too much and probably cause all the fasteners on your bike to explode. -- Jay Beattie. Now now Jay, Remember that Joerg has a problem with understanding American humor. |

The only thing I find truly incredible is his resistance to carrying a chain tool. Rocks and sticks, feh. I don't doubt that Joerg breaks stuff, but I think "hard use" depends a lot on riding technique. IOW, I think you can send two riders of identical weight and power on identical rides on identical bikes and have very different amounts of bike damage. -- - Frank Krygowski And I agree. I have a Bridgestone XO-1 in my garage that my youngest daughter rode from the Pacific Ocean in Oregon to the Atlantic Ocean in Virginia without so much as a flat. Yabbut how much does she weigh She probably also didn't take direct routes such as this one from Lotus to Folsom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5cjAW_nrl4 That is a normal trail out here. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ The two girls were racers at that time and could have ridden a course like that on a bike like that so easily that it would embarrass me. But the ride from "Sea To Shining Sea" was entirely on the road. Though many of the backroads were almost that well paved. |

Too much weight what with the gallons of beer he finds vital for his rides..... come to think of it maybe the beer is necessary to fuel his tales of riding in the primitive California wilderness. |

After seeing this I'd be a mite concerned about having to wander around looking for a nail and a rock to fix a chain with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FQWwVpxQsw Cheers |

And I notice that has a bottle opener, useful for emergency hydration :-) |
