Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Missed this one. I only mock when someone continues to act a stubborn idiot in the face of all advice and suggestions. This guy can't figure out how to install a mounting bracket for a pump, and blames it all on the manufacturer, labeling it filth and as lacking class. When you say an inanimate object has or does not have class, you forfeit all right to be taken seriously. He isn't interested in a solution, he is interested in whining about how everything sucks and is not up to his exacting standards, and just repeating it until he actually believes that no one except him knows anything.

Only thing of note is that he has allegedly put me on ignore, but I suspect that he hasn't, or he wouldn't continue to address me. I doubt he will be able to keep up the charade for much longer.

I will quote you just in case. But I doubt he actually did put you on the black list

I seriously can't believe it's still going on. 9 pages of pretty much useless info if you have a brain. On the other hand, if you don't have a brain some peoples info could be really usefull.

Well, it looks like others are taking over for me since he declared that he has put me on ignore. I think most people just find this great entertainment, that's why it has gone on so long. It seems to be a universal trait to want to watch someone self-destruct in this manner. It sure made packing last night go much faster, and if it keeps going tonight, I will be able to finish packing without any problems (I hate packing).

Thank God i broke that road morph - F*CK TOPEAK.

God bless those of you who suggested Lezyne.

As for the ones who harassed me for not mounting the road morph - i sincerely hope you will be able to get help with your psychological issues.

Thank you for your advice good sir, I will most certainly take it under advisement. Surely no one could possibly know my psychological health better than an unemployed raw foodist electrical engineer who pumps out more power than most TdF-level pros (yet rides only on MUPs), requires special pedals, and cannot figure out how to put two bolts in two holes. I salute you.
