But I can also see how Ryan jumped to his conclusion.<BR/><BR/>SS is not a minor difference - like one bike is lighter than another, bigger wheels, different tires, etc. It's a more difficult bike to ride and that leads to more suppositions about the intentions of the rider.KanyonKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954169751206336705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542065742758690684.post-58946468007998401752008-11-20T11:41:00.000-07:002008-11-20T11:41:00.000-07:00RB - I would respectfully disagree with your inter...RB - I would respectfully disagree with your interpretation of reasons #2 and #3. The feeling was definitely not one of superiority. Those dh guys would have smoked us down the Bobsled, no question. What was fun about the situation was merely the fact that we were able to ride the Bobsled on a rigid ss. The same is basically true of #2. I didn't feel superior when I passed the dude climbing The Wall, just a little faster which was due in no small part to the fact that I had no other option! On a ss you either ride it or hike it. If you're riding a steep climb the odds are good you're going faster than most people with gears. That's obviously not true in all situations, case in point being stupidbike Bob on Tuesday smoking me regardless of whether the trail was climbing, descending or flat!<BR/><BR/>In other words (and I apologize for using so many in my reponse), #2 and #3 are basically manifestations, or practical examples, of #1.UtRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196214593560383672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542065742758690684.post-76044476065347700862008-11-20T08:16:00.000-07:002008-11-20T08:16:00.000-07:00I felt strongly enought to say it twice.I felt strongly enought to say it twice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542065742758690684.post-37892049960994857412008-11-20T08:15:00.001-07:002008-11-20T08:15:00.001-07:00So, if I am reading this correct. 2/3 of the reaso...So, if I am reading this correct. 2/3 of the reason to ride S/S is to feel superior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542065742758690684.post-58818686705132853472008-11-20T08:15:00.000-07:002008-11-20T08:15:00.000-07:00So, if I am reading this correct. 2/3 of the reaso...So, if I am reading this correct. 2/3 of the reason to ride S/S is to feel superior.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
