Did you genuinely just film yourself taking off a snapped chain and chucking it in a bush?

I think so a little weird now he can’t pedal anywhere

@Ooofff: ohh nooo now he can't earn those turns whatever will he do

@luckynugget: earn those turns? No I didn’t mean that literally he now cannot pedal at all which is like the whole point of a bike

Riding chainless is fun every now and then. Just lobbing your chain into the undergrowth is a dick move though. That was more the point I was making. To be fair, you can't actually see where he's chucking it in the vid, but still it looks very much like he's just lobbing it into the nearest bush instead of into his van or whatever. Fuck people who chuck litter on trails. Those people are pricks.

@gabriel-mission9: Bruh, imagine driving a car and then turning around and then saying that someone is a weiner for throwing their chain on the ground

@LaneRippy: What if you drive a Tesla and enjoy the smell of your own farts?

@LaneRippy: I get your point but littering is always a bad idea, especially promoting it in a video.

The chain was shortly retrieved from the bush before leaving, taken home, given a nice bubble bath and a wax. The chain is now being cared for by an adoption agency, it has had an abusive life but it well on the way to recovery.

Dropped a lucosade bottle on the way out though and that’s still there.

In all honesty his riding was quite good, however the videography made me quit watching halfway through, I had to tilt my phone back and forth in order to see what was going on, this really hurt my eyes to watch.

The pandemic will force more of these rides for a lot of people. The Supply Chain is broken too haha!

Taking the drivetrain off for a few shuttle laps every now and then is as close to a religious experience as I've ever gotten. Absolute silence and an overwhelming sense of speed. Love it.

Check out those silent hubs. Religious experience every day!

I've tried taking the brakes off once and the sense of speed was truly overwhelming.

Been super interested in setting up a spitfire on 26”. Do my eyes deceive me?

@mackay66: no need to write off your dreams as both Spitfire and Rune do support 26" with another set of dropouts you can buy separately or choose as an option if buying the frame

What's up with the pants?

gasserdiaries (Mar 21, 2021 at 4:03)

If I can’t afford a new chain do you think I can afford new pants?

It amazes me how many people ride without basic tools. Stupid. Why let a broken chain or flat early in the ride ruin the ride? Carry some tools people. A simple multi-tool, master link, pump, and tube will fix 90% of problems on the trail. Throw in a few zip ties and still all together weigh under a pound if you are a weight weenie. Its not rocket science.

He's not on a trail. He's not pedalling up anything. I do not want to carry that shit on my bike especially if I'm hitting jumps. Leave it in the truck or something. There's a big difference between what he's riding and what you're probably riding. He's not stupid, he's just biking. Chill out, fuck a chain.

Pretty sure thats just a ruse to set up the narrative of the vid bud.

Back when i didn't have a freecoaster on my bmx i actually welcomed a broken chain to goof off and do weird stuff you couldn't do with a chain. It is ok to just have fun sometimes you know, not everyone is going for max performance all the time

gasserdiaries (Mar 21, 2021 at 4:03)

The chain was slowing me down
