I don't. It creates a feeling of inadequacy and supplants the stereotype that working at McDonald's means your a failure.

Well, either you bump a rock, or bump a log... I used to go through two or three rear derailleurs a month. I see that they've dispensed with the theory of the replaceable derailleur bracket. Nobody ever stocked them, and the derailleurs always bent/broke before the little bracket did anyway.

Same here I broke a few of them when I rode. This was the outcome of the last time it snapped.

Anyone that thinks "do you want fries with that" is a career, might want to rethink their life choices.

Argument against above statement and yes I know her normal ride doesn't have 3 pedals but she has won plenty with them.

Um.... OW.

And here I thought I was hardcore because I stuck two Craig's Links in my chain in such a way that I could shorten the chain without tools, so I could run on the 32/21 sprockets and keep on trucking.

There's just not anything quite like them. Where else are you going to find a camper that space efficient for any less? They're pretty unusual. They can also park in a normal parking space and get into places that a bigger RV just won't fit.

Of course, $50k plus is the top of the market - that's a fully restored GoWesty or one being listed by someone who's a bit too proud of their bus. A friend just bought a Subaru-powered one that's in pretty much perfect shape for $20k, and I've got less than $10k in my Subaru-powered Westy. We're not exactly slumming it.

Because it's a hotlinking thread:

One half crocked pic is all it takes to resurrect the GGA post back in a sec..

In reply to Toyman01:

Didn't say it was a career, but I've known quite a few people who had the attitude that working a fast food counter was "beneath" them (when they couldn't find a job otherwise) because of similar acts.

In reply to Will:

I deserve that.

Back when I used to do lots of cycling it was common on a club ride to hear chains grinding followed by someone screaming "Shimano E36M3!"

Weird thing was 90% of the club members had Shimano derailleurs, even though the local shop stocked everything. I saw one guy's chain fall between 2 gears during a REALLY steep hill climb- it stopped him dead in his tracks and he just tipped over in slow motion!

Wouldn't that be half-frocked?

It's...German. Does it have a maintenance schedule too?

The Wera Koloss is german

So is the Wurth

I thought Harbor Freight was the only place that had ratchets that became hammers.
