Uh - "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Applies to bicycles and lots of other situations.

If you're old enough to post on 50+ you should have learned that by now.

Guys, guys, guys, we have been chastised and we are old enough to take it and move on. It could be worse, we could be in a car forum and talking about who makes the best cars. I promise to to better. But being over 50 I might forget by tomorrow.

OK, but we still do not know what we did wrong, or did we just forget?

When you come back to Texas we'll show you how 'bout now that we're no longer saddled with Josh.
