Even with this months stw editorial in mind there seems to be a fair amount of roadie jib, not sure we're losing the trail (as so to speak!)

Get over yourself, it's all cycling isn't it? Some of us do road, CX and MTB. Should we use different forums for all of them?
Your troll is far too obvious..
Get over yourself
This... 🙄
And one.
to much roadie talk
Is that a toast?
It's "too" much.
Not
"To" much.
.. To much roadie talk !
Sounds like a toast at an evening for talking about road riding.
(Edit- slow typering 😉 )
No, I agree - you shaven, skinny lycra nancies can all get stuffed. It's bad enough that we talk about bikes on here at all, but [i]road[/i] ?!
They never even bloody say hello, you know
Is that a toast?
I like road because it makes me fast on my mountain bike.

I have a regular coffee stop that is frequented by mountain bikers. I often get ignored when I call in on my road bike. 🙁
The Lycra probably makes them feel uneasy. 8)

Totally fair point. It's not all cycling at all ..... It's a totally different discipline involving shaving ones legs!
Banish yourself to a roadie site!
No Irish, Dogs or Roadies please...
Mangatank, dogs and roadies are allowed.
😉
I dont mind the roadie talk tbh it when they are on the roads two abreast slowing me down with their perfectly leag cycling that I get cross
Road CC is good for reviews ect... but their forum is dead. Probably out riding bikes instead of talking about them. 😉
Roadie talk -"Been out much?"
"Nah.Not much".
Actually means 600 miles in a month.
Mtb talk -"Been out much?"
"Yeah.Done wales and scotland and the lakes and the alps"
Actually means 600 miles in a year.

Troll this is not!
I felt my point was very fair and justified, noticed a significant increase in road bike subjects on a mountain bike forum!
If like myself you ride both, great but use the appropriate forum!
Although both can complement each other you wouldn't ride your road bike off road and visa versa however I am at a loss with cyclocross 😕

Not

Yeah, you can get over yourself!
Seriously people, I posted it with a fair point, opinion, yes but a fair point non the less and I get shot down?!
By the grammar nazi's?!

Ultimately, the sport is old enough now for many of us to have moved from pure MTB to a mixture of Road and trail. It's just how the forum is maturing. Like it or lump it I'd say.

It would appear that way!
No issue with roadie talk. Most riders have more than one bike and also enjoy riding the tarmac.
By the grammar nazi's?!
By the grammar nazi's what? We want to know!
it's winter, you'd have to be mental to do much mtbing at this time of year, road bikes are a great alternative.
hopefully the sun will come back soon, or at least some of the puddles will get drained by thirsty trees, and it'll be 'flats vs spds' threads all over the forum once again.
until november...
Road CC is good for reviews ect... but their forum is dead.
The banter on Road CC is all in the comments of the news and reviews rather than on the forum, its more of a conversation with the site authors.
In a world where n+1 is the number of bikes you should have in the garage then it is inevitable that eventually one of those may well be a road bike ..... that and you'll end up needing a bigger garage.
A toast you say? Chin chin 🙂

I honestly don't get that, Road biking is great and has its benefits but MTBing is why I do it... Winter or Summer.

You're right that's not much. I used to clock up 1000+ a month training for XC and that was just WEs and a few evenings.

Grammar is important. It's the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, or helping your uncle jack off a horse...the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit. Ya dig?
Mr. Tacopowell. This is NOT a place for expressing your opinions! Jeez whatever next?
(BTW, it's the winter, people are on their boring road bikes more, wait a few months and it'll all go away)

Oh I get it, I'm just not very good at it, it doesn't however give people the right to be an arse when my grammar's poor
Does it?! Maybe I'm missing something?
Anyway, I'm off to/too (???) road.cc to talk mountain bikes!
Deary dear 🙄
I've lurked here a fair while now and can honestly say that there used to be some informative posts, interesting videos posted and posts that made me roflol from really witty folk but now I think it can be summed up with one of these..

One will be along in a minute to alter my opinion. Then another will type something hilarious like bye then. Which will reinforce the Ned-bond.
How to comfort an upset grammar pedant....
There, their, they're
Go and read Cyclist magazine, it's a road version of Singletrack; lots of tasty photos and great articles, very little advertising and some interesting tech stuff. I'm so impressed I'm taking out a subscription. Now if Singletrack was to begin including the occasional classy road riding feature with great photos and write-ups I think it would revive the magazine dramatically by adding a new strand of interest.

It's seasonal innit, though a bit arse about face, should be road summer and mtb in the winter.
I was just thinking I've not seen a Cervello in months.

A quick swag of your last 18 posts shows me that 10 of them have nothing to do with mountain biking.
I'd recommend 'the real world' if you are fretting about non-cycling things. Or post about mountain bikes yourself?
I'm no grammar pedant - when you make as many typos as I do it would make me a tremendous hypocrite.
That title does make me smile though - one tiny error and the entire sentiment is reversed. Thanks for the amusement! I think we should have more thread titles in the form of a toast- "To dusty trails and may all you punctures happen just yards from the car park."
I honestly don't get that, Road biking is great and has its benefits but MTBing is why I do it... Winter or Summer.
I don't know about you but I just can't stand going out for a quick blast and spending long cleaning bikes and clothes than I did riding. I could count the times I've ridden a mtb since October on one hand -only if it's frozen solid or snow covered....
not sure how much is "road" and how much is "roadie" - by roadie then that invokes a license carrying club member rather than riding for training/pleasure or commuting by road - not that it matters think point is if bike related question then will probably getting some good pointers and sometimes brilliantly useful answers (same applies OT threads)
i always think if you don't like the thread don't read it
though being a traditionalist i prefer the [darkside]warning[/darkside]
