Well you obviously haven't read most of what i have to say then. I only give ***** one liners to questions that deserve them, or simply when all you need is a one liner. When people want me to elaborate i do if i already haven't. if you think i have an abrasive attitude then maybe you should look at 80% of the kids on here who need a wake up call or to just use their damn heads and common sense, and then try to understand why i give some of the answers i do. I never had a teacher or a bike forum when i was younger to teach me everything i know. I learn't 95% of the stuff i know from doing it myself. I've been working on my own bikes since i was about 10, and thats the best way to learn. Just do it yourself, take your bike apart and rebuild it a few times so you know how everything works and then ask questions and find out the little hints and tips to make the process simpler after you already understand things. I can't stand all the kids that come on here without a damn clue and a question for everything. Maybe if they would get their lazy asses of the computer and experiment a little bit they wouldn't have so many stupid annoying common sense questions, and then i wouldn't have to use one liners as often and make people like you think i have some crap attitude. I enjoy giving advice and helping people with the knowledge that i have, but some of these kids deserve the one liners. You don't exactly help matters either by just fueling these kids idiocy by just starting some ridicules internet beef....
