What do you mean by "not a-typical"? First of all the word is atypical, and it means not typical.


This thing is not of my thinking but is used by several pro downhillers in the wet conditions since the mid 90's, so it isn't exactly an innovation.
I'm sorry, you know it probably is usefull for the "several pro downhillers in the wet conditions" that use it. I have to remember that not everyone gave up emulating their favorite pros for no reason by the time they were 14.



If so, no wonder you ride a brown bike with purple anodized parts..
Its not brown, not that the color of a persons bike means anything. But isn't a statement like this just bagging on everything that is atypical?

You're correct, I won't be riding on well groomed walking paths for the elderly in New Jersey.

I stated that I was using trying it for the first time ever, not particularly sold on it after this past Sunday, it was actually getting in my way instead of helping. I tried it and didn't work out for me.

Listen I don't like getting bashed for trying something that is new to me, now I'll be able to use what I have gathered from trying that further down the road. You bagged on something I was trying, just decided to turn the tables for a bit.

Atypical, A-typical is the same dang thing, both go through without issue with spell check.
