:lol:. yea, professionals do. for everyone else you are your own pit crew, carrying everything you need on you on the bike and also being ready to fix it all yourself when something breaks.
nothing worse than being 40 miles from home and snapping a derailleur line (cable that goes from the shifter to the gears on the wheel) and basically tells the bike what gear it\'s in. without it I was stuck in the highest gear I had so I could still pedal but only really, really fast and not moving. good for going up a big hill, bad for 40 miles of level riding to get home. I jerry-rigged it back together using a bandana. Looked pretty ghetto but it allowed me to shift gears and I was able to ride home ok.
for those who never saw the ink:
man....that DOES look like fun......paul....if you have an extra bike i can borrow, i\'ll do it with you next time for sure. i\'d have to check my work schedule of course.
