    I'm so minus the things I have don't appear on your chart.
    Do they even make bars wider than 580?

    I get 18 points – considering I'm 43,bald(ing),a dad(twice),ride a mountaincycle fury,work for Tesco and have 10 busted bones to my MTB credit score – I consider that quite an achivement.Oh! – and NO points deducted either.I'm reeeally proud of that chaps.

    My net score is 9. Points deducted for 3 chainrings (the big one gets used as a bash anyway FFS) and travel adjust (ETA). Sangobeggar is lying BTW … his fork has an ETA too.

    Depends which bike!

    xc bike: -2!
    singlespeed: +4 (wiiiide bars innit)
    freeridey bike: +15 but i ride it like a girl guide.

    (jam bo is right, i should have 2 ponts deducted for the body armour so 11 really.)

    This is fun. 😀

    A respectable +8 here, although that's rounding up tyre size (2.35).

    0. Computer and GPS.. 🙁 And don't bother with armour, I'm 17 – I bounce.

    +1 GP…70mm stem
    +2 GP…>50mm stem
    -1 GP…<100m stem

    I think you really messed that up.
    > means more than, < means less than. So you get -1 point for having a stem shorter then 100m(eters? 😀 ) and 2 points for having a stem longer then 50mm.

    think I'm about a 14. My bike is much more gnar than I am..

    meaning high on the scale of dangerousness and coolness. Often used among the skateboard crowd

    Ah right – well I am so gnar I didnt even bother to do the quiz to tell me how gnar I am. I just plucked a very gnar number out of thin air I'm that gnar.

    In fact, I reckon that by completing a "how gnar are you?" quiz" you are by definition ungnar ay?

    Shouldn't this be a questionnaire about the rider, not the bike? 😉

    9 although I did spend this morning on a club road ride in lycra but we'll ignore that.

    21 potentially – depends where I'm riding though.

    littlegirlbunny

    For the bike I ride the most it's an almost respectable 21

    Although goog got 35 (this is what happens when you've got bars 777 mm wide – knew there must be a purpose for them somewhere, clearly they are to make him more gnar)

    yes, sorry Realman…… it's been a while since i was sat in a maths class.

    Simon Ralli……..quality!

    maybe we should put our heads together and draw up a definative scale of Gnar….
