i was just wondering... if this is some sort of a joke? no one can possibly have such poor grammar
"dick brake"? must be something new... gotta go check it out at my LBS tomorrow first thing in the morning!

what's worse is that the internet phenomenon is changing accepted grammar tolerances, devolving (or distilling, if you take the other p.o.v.) them down into the base minimum of required characters, spaces, and spelling correctness.

OP: I'm sure the GT is just fine.

Funny you're talking about poor grammar without using caps anywhere to connote a new sentence or in reference to yourself.

Is a dick brake the same thing as a cock block?

I'm going to start referring to cockblockers as 'disk brakes' now, I believe.

LoL I know I didn't have perfect grammar in the reply but at least I didn't freaking substitution ; as l in the word "resonab;e"

Btw... what's the difference between 6", 7", and 8" dick brake? More power?
This thread is fun!

True, there are a few other mistakes, but the "K" instead of the "S" that should have gone before the "C" is what I was refering to.

Anybody know if you can use Astroglide as hydro brake fluid?
