9-11 here.
I think the road bikes are negative though.
11 . . . minus 10 for actually bothering to total up . . . so 1 I reckon ๐
I'm so minus the things I have don't appear on your chart.
Do they even make bars wider than 580?
oldgit .....????

i think,therefore i am
body armor should be - points...
Jambo, I thought the same
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.
jumping j....? flying j.
sod that. respect.
Jan - almost stopped that vid when the backing track started ๐ . . . glad I didn't . . . wow! - fair play!
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.)
+3
Dammit, how can I be equal with TJ? He wears a flat cap & rides a... tandem. ๐
2, shifters didn't have windows and I don't miss them (much) and came with 130mm forks.
+23 I'm v gnar
This is fun. ๐
A respectable +8 here, although that's rounding up tyre size (2.35).
BTW can someone define gnar please?

gnar
[url= http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gnar ]A shortened version of the word gnarly, meaning high on the scale of dangerousness and coolness. Often used among the skateboard crowd[/url]
0. Computer and GPS.. ๐ 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? ๐ ) and 2 points for having a stem longer then 50mm.
got 4 from my ss road bike!
[i]think[/i] I'm about a 14. My bike is much more gnar than I am..
[i]meaning high on the scale of dangerousness and coolness. Often used among the skateboard crowd[/i]
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?
26 on the SX
-7 on the Klein
๐
16 on spech pitch pro
17 on the Helius AM..
12 on the Ti456
Shouldn't this be a questionnaire about the rider, not the bike? ๐
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.
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....
+7 on my rocky mountain
-2 On my Giant
+7 on my rocky mountain
-2 On my Giant
A reassuring 2, I was a bit worried about having to make the transistion from nobbing around on my bike to being all flowcore or xxxc!
Somehow, it appears that I go up to 11.

6...fail ๐
What about the rear sus, you need something in there about its travel..
jumpingj: fair play on the vid, i'd love to give some of those jumps a try...
24.
I think it should be +1GP for every piece of body armour you own, but don't wear normally. That way, I get 28!
question too boring does not compute
