WTF?!? Just trying to help, dude. No need to be snotty about it. What a tool.
The key phrase there is "laboring on a really nice MTB". It doesn't justify his attitude, but he probably wasn't ready for anyone to say anything to him. Survival mode will do that to you. Of course, if he replied that way he probably isn't that nice of a person to begin with.
