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

In the same language no less. If one doesn't read gud (or at all), I can see the confusion.

LOL!

How did you even end up there? How is that even possible? Did you just google "CYCLING FORUMS LOGIN PAGE" or something? WTF?!

And for the record, I don't think you're a troll. And I also don't think you're anywhere near 21.

If you admitted your real age, it may go a long way in convincing people you're genuine. No one really cares one way or the other, but saying you're 21 when you're like 13 just gives people a reason to doubt you.

For Serious.

Carl...first, calm yourself. Folks here are just going to continue giving you a hard time if you persist in acting this way. No one here is posting simply for your benefit, and if you feed some of these guys there will be no end to the nonsense that will ensue.
Your best bet when searching products is to first try a general google search to see if there are reviews. If not, you can always try a keyword search here, but be warned that in the past the search function here sort of blows. Beyond that, make a thread, be NICE, and then be patient. IF anyone has any genuine input then you will get it. Lots of folks here (including myself) love to "hear" themselves, so finding participants shouldn't be an issue unless you simply cannot control yourself, in which these threads will continue to progress at a quicker downhill pace and likely ending with your getting banned for your behavior.

Man you sound familiar. Any chance you could be prepping for a sprint tri? It's ok Justin, just calm down.

Just don't go zip-tying aerobars to that new stem. That's a recipe for disaster.

Now whatever happened to good old Justin? Did he and Vicelord (at least I think that was the name of the dude who got into fights over at the Circle K with navy seal security guards) go to that other site?

Carl, you're a funny guy. With that said, your posts are driving people crazy. Here's my advice:

1. There is a lot of bike information out there. Some you need to know now. Some you will pick up over time. BE PATIENT. This is a journey for everyone. It takes time to gather all the information and process it. It takes us years. There's no reason you should get it all within 10 minutes.

2. Google is your friend. Type your question in Google first. You might be surprised to find that it gives you a good answer. Spend some time looking at different websites and reading the information there. You don't always have to start on a conversation on it. Usually, whatever you want to talk about has already been discussed.

3. CALM DOWN. Life is good. Sit back and enjoy it. Don't get angry about something posted on a forum. It's not worth it.

4. Don't expect people to refresh their screens every 3 seconds to see if you've posted something new for them to answer. If you have a good question, ask it politely and WAIT. Sometimes even a couple of days. Do you REALLY need to buy that part for your bike on eBay RIGHT NOW? I guarantee another one will come along as soon as that auction ends.

5. If you are friendly and patient with other people, they will be friendly and patient with you. If you change your username and start over.

If you don't have a cat handy, you can't be that awed by awesomeness.
