Never used it. I use reiser on my laptop and ext3 on the server... hmmm.Originally Posted by hiredgoons
Only hipsters would use Reiser for a server; those who are concerned with function rather than form should go with ZFS.

I think it's still got some kinks, but it looks interesting. Honestly, I go back and forth between rfs and ext3 and was just making a bad pun Originally Posted by Falkon

I don't know. I have real schwinn late 60's stingray bars and one time I put them on my bike upside down. They were the ghetto-est track drops ever.Originally Posted by wolfbrother

I was riding to the grocery store the other day and someone yelled "get some real handlebars!" from their car as they passed me.

let me explain I have two fixed gears one for cruising and messing around with friends (this bike has risers and a lower gear ratio) wheelies skids tricks what have you (if it sets you at ease my risers are mounted to a zero drop stem with at the top of an uncut steerer for comfort and just having fun)
I also have a pure bred track bike with drops
besides stop *****ing about other peoples' bikes and ride your own

By the way, I have a riser bar on my beater, and now I like it so much I'd hate it if someone stole it. So, now I don't have a beater bike.

I cracked a bone in my wrist last year in a crash and holding drops hurt like hell to ride.
I put on some risers and it was less painful to ride.

by chance was it your scafoid bone?
that thing never really heals correctly. 8 months later, mine still hurts like hell when i tattoo for more than 3 hours.
thats generally the bone that breaks when you land on an outstretched hand.. usually from a bike or skateboard fall.

There are so many things in the world that are worth debating. This is not one of them. Yall gonna start making people who ride risers sit at the back of the bus too?
It's full of stars...
I'm running risers for the time being. My back is pretty messed up and the risers sweep does make it much easier for ME to ride. I like my drops and will probably run them again when I heal. I know I won't be mistaken for a hipster because I wear a helmet and I'm too old to give a sh*t about fashion. 
This works for me and it was a super cheap (free) mod.
I personally don't care what people run, I just like to see them riding period. I guess I don't have time to hate... unless it's the french. (just kidding.)
