So Many Moths

[Ham]

I thought we just had a temperate climate, means we dont need air-con, meaning small market, meaning high prices

No ****? sounds good, i'm kinda poor at the moment but I recently swapped out all the XC kit i had on my bike to DH (XC didn't pass the adrenaline test), so i'm riding a claud butler cape wrath frame, but that's where it ends at stock , i've got a Gustav M on the front (amazing stopper ) and a Avid BB DH on the back. I'm riding a Rock Shox Pike 426 for the fork. Shimano Saint cranks and a XTR rear mech, but with a SRAM shifter . I've got AtomLab GI wheels (with Panaracer Cinder 2.1 and Gazzalodi tubes), a SDG Bell air saddle and Easton seat pin and riser, and a hope stem. Only leaving my pride and joy, Shimano M647 pedals :yumyum:.

I'm only riding in a amateur capacity at the moment, but im getting better, although even if I did get sponsorship, there's no way my parent's would let me take it .

Awesome mate! I always had a problem with accidentally shifting when I ran SRAM shifters so I stuck with my XTR's which always seemed to keep me happy. I used to run Gazzalodi DH tires on my rig with Sun Double Wide rims, 24" front and back. The front drivetrain was pretty simple DH style with some black RaceFace cranks, studded pedals (cant remember which...), and MRP System 1 chain guide.

Man all this bike talk makes me wanna riiiiide!

Yeh, some people have complained about that, although I have some from just before Shimano went medieval on SRAM about similiar shifters, so they're pretty much the same (but they change them bigtime after that ).

Were the rims Sun or Sunn (as in Sunn-Chipie?) cause if they were they get an extra .

America has some very decent bikes on the market for prices that make Britain's look bloated (well more than they do already ). Canada, especially Whistler is flavour of choice for most mtber's so if you do pick up a ride sometime, you know where to go . Either way it's all good

nick, we do have air con, its not the work of the devil, but not everybody can afford it mate, consider yourself lucky that you hve parents who earn enough to buy things like that for your home.

I don't think it's a matter of affording them over here, because they're dirt cheap! Didn't meant to sound "stuck up" before but I didn't realize how expensive they were in Europe till Melteduron told me, and I was like :O

Maytag Air Conditioner for $78.97/ea.. that's the kind we have in my and my sisters bedrooms. They're uber cheap here, tahts why m8.

@Phnom: The rims were Sun Ringle's.

 

[WC Annihilus]

Hmm... we have a central heating and air system in our house...

 

[Hyper]

Another reason for us not having air conditioning is because atleast 50% of the year we wouldnt need it.

and even less over here, i want one perhaps 4-5 days a year.

otherwise a small tablefan is often more than enough.

a quicklook on an a/c shows it to be ridicoulous expensive.

533€ to buy it and then 0.23€ an hour to have it running.

thats 5.52€ a day just for electricity and thats counting low.

So that's why it is cheaper and better to hire scantily clad women with palm branches to fan you lol jk
