When it comes to professional sports, athletes should be allowed to push the boundaries of what the human body can achieve. everything should be allowed, all the drugs, artificial enhancements, mechanical limbs, everything. Imagine how that can drive technology and medicine. These athletes practice their sport as a lifestyle, its all they are, why shouldn't they embrace every opportunity. We'd have the 'million dollar man' by now if people weren't so sensitive about this kind of stuff.

I tried to build a relationship with a lbs, they seemed like nice people, it didn't work out. It was going fine until I had them do some work to my rear axle, swapping the standard 135 for a 12x142 on my fuel ex. Apparently they don't know what a manual is because they took a grinder to an expensive DTSwiss part and botched the job, they tried to cover it up too. It was unsafe to ride and the rear wheel would have locked up randomly on the trail causing an accident. Obviously I wont go back, but the mechanic was the owners son so its not like he'll loose his job over the incident. I tried some other lbs but they are snobbish since I don't seem to fit their biking clique. I shouldn't have to earn good customer service by spending a lot of money and putting up with crap until I'm 'accepted'. Now I do all my own work on my bikes and buy everything online.
