The latter part of this quote describes it perfectly. And the first sentence is SO true, whenever my bro gets me to get MTBing with him on a borrowed geared MTB I have to ride it around on the street for half on hour just to get used to it again, it feels like something is wrong with the bike and I want to hop off and pull out my tools and fix it, haha.
