It's time for the 2nd edition of cynic-al's "BS of the week" thread, where bunkum and nonsense are celebrated. This week…

Aluminium does lack sufficient fracture toughness, for bike frames.

…is my favourite. Of course I won't identify the poster.

What's yours?

what's BS?

While I'm certain it was very much tongue in cheek, sfb's camera observation.

"50mm is still 50mm and I'm not sure 4 times as much light and less depth of field is that much difference."

BS = B*** S***

BS = bullshine.

Some of the diet stuff again was rather amusing.

The argueing over 1×9 chainlines.

But there is to much BS on this forum, most of which makes me laugh.

*randomly picks a thread*

Yup, there's BS in there.

sign language can be rather inventive and I especially like this

It weighs 22lb.

most of this thread

a4 or A6 allroad what's the difference

god help anyone asking for car advise on here

Oh this pic was a highlight 😀

can i nominate the "england footballers rape and pillage, its true, i read it on the internerd" thread.

Good Christ. I missed that picture. That is the worst looking bike I have seen…was it from here?

So is this the armchair warriors smartar5e geek thread?

Thought so.

Any thread with SPOILER in the title.
WTF is that all about?
If people are interested enough in something they'll find out about in real time.
It's happened…knowing about it sooner or later does not change that! 8)

BS of the week?

Any internet post where the poster categorises others as "armchair warriors" while posting something critical about them, probably from his armchair.

What took you so long to get here?

I'm posting from an office chair actually. Apparently an "executive" one according to Staples… 😉

Come on though – this is a thread to pick at others using geek levels of pedantry.

Not really that good is it?

Well Surf-Mat…you can't be that much of an "executive" or you wouldn't be posting from the office at gone 7pm on a Friday night. 8)

Having my f**king bike stolen on Tuesday was SH*T linky, not BS i must admit, but a big fat dirty smelly dollop of SH*T end to my day Tuesday, and pretty much set me up for a SH*T week!

I thought this warranted being on the BS thread cynic, taking into account the amount of SH*T that was involved…..

More like a bit of a laugh, but if you need to take it seriously that's up to you.

Any internet post where the poster categorises others as "armchair warriors"

Especially when said poster has a habit of using such terms…

Back on topic, I can't be bothered finding a specific instance, but it comes up often enough: "aluminium frames really beat me up – steel is so much more comfortable".

here's one

The phrase "look dope" in the context of a nice suburban garden just doesn't fit for me

Oh well I guess you are white, middle class and identify with gangsta rappers?

One for your collection Al – and possibly a poster to look out for. displays a fine lack of knowledge, punctuation and coherence

hahahaha! listening to all you guys with the know how, sitting there in front of your computer screens telling how to ride steep tech stuff when in actual fact if i put you in front of some of the stuff we ride you'd shit yourself !!! iv took people like you out before, jedi and tj, ha ha stick to your black routed trail centres!!

That last post makes this entire thread worthwhile.

Gotta be Mark Datz.

Have we met? blud

The phrase "look dope" has one of two meanings:

1) "I say, it would appear that gentleman standing nearby is smoking marajuana."

2) "Hi, I'm 12."

If counterculture slang didn't piss off the squares, it wouldn't be doing its job.

I'll have you know, I'm home with the downies.

"Gnarly". Does my nut in every time I see it.

referring to people as squares is so 1970s

'Does my nut in' is annoying every time i see it.

Can't go back in time, laddie…

What is fracture toughness anyway? 😆
