WRT to protecting Rodgers and Brady, I agree. But, hasn't that pretty much been the case for many, many years? There are a few "protected" QB's, the rest take the knocks that the get.

And Cam's "not old enough".

I still want a fifteen yard personal foul for any payer making the "flag-throwing" motion.

Let's take a break from bald eagles, all the way to the other extreme in size.

The "11 cog - faster" thread has reached new heights of absurdity on the last page. Pissing contest at it's finest. :lol:

Nice Hummer pics Billy.

LAJ 12-04-15 05:08 PM

Gorgeous, [MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION]. Way cool. Actually, WAY cool.

How many people can I convince that I have no concept of simple physics before I get called on trolling?

Please let this one ride, Billy!

BillyD 12-04-15 05:17 PM

Grazie, Grazie!

What? The thread is fine - no hostilities, no personality conflicts, no name-calling, no insults, no problem.

It's just ridiculous, is all I'm saying. :lol:

Well, not exactly "as ridden". I would need to add the saddle bag and a couple of full water bottles.

#itscomplicated

I have people lift up my bike with full water bottles on it and then laugh at me and say "it's not that light" - drives me nuts.

Edit: mostly just because they felt the need to lift my bike.

No doubt. You enlightened Addiction thread residents should come in and back up my junk science with some more google image graph searches. If I can actually convince someone on this forum to buy a shorter NDS crank arm because it will improve their performance and spin at a higher RPM, mission accomplished.

I was about to post this here:

"Dan333SP. Giving a master class in trolling in the 11 tooth cog thread."

But I thought I should look up the previous posts first.

Someone should bookmark that thread and post a link to it the next time someone like pinoy92231 posts.

Amen.

Minus the "destroyed" part.

I blew it. Too much. It's such a subtle art.

smarkinson 12-04-15 06:12 PM

It was good while it lasted :)

SpeshulEd 12-04-15 06:16 PM

[MENTION=345108]UnfilteredDregs[/MENTION] will be pleased. I'm considering tubeless. I see a number of people saying that they're running their enve's tubeless and I'm going to need new tires in a couple thousand miles, so I might give the Schwalbe Pro One's a try.

Mumonkan 12-04-15 06:32 PM

as (self appointed) road tubeless Lt. i am also pleased.

In any case, it's obvious YOU'RE trolling, I can't be certain about Dan333SP - he may actually believe this nonsense.

I guess I still have a lot to learn.

Mumonkan 12-04-15 06:51 PM

those power cranks just blew my ****ing mind

There was a guy I occasionally road with that had these cranks. I really does mess with your mind to watch.

FLvector 12-04-15 07:23 PM

Great stuff [MENTION=29415]BillyD[/MENTION]

Curious, do you ever photograph insects? Or not into the macro stuff?

[h=1]PowerCranks, how much benefit is possible?[/h]
The amount of improvement one can expect depends, again, on how good you are and how well the PowerCranks correct your specific weaknesses. Our typical triathlete (a good but not great runner) is reporting running pace improving about 1 min/mile in about 3 months. About 80% of our customers who run report new running personal records within 3 months. Cyclists are typically seeing time-trial speed improvements of about 2-3 mph in about 6 months. Triathletes typically see improvements in both areas. Over 25 pro triathletes have won their first Ironman Championship after starting training on PowerCranks.

Dan, you're 11 cog posts have convinced me. ::thumb:

Dan333SP 12-04-15 07:44 PM

I'm starting to convince myself!

This is gold:

Thanks [MENTION=300127]woodcraft[/MENTION].
