Just replacing the derailleur?
Don't need a new cable if there's enough extra on the current one. Replacing just the derailleur = 15 minutes, derailleur and cable = 40 minutes.

Hmm... I might be in if you're in. That is if I can hitch a ride with you. Hmm... skiing or biking? :???:

Fairly certain we're talking about biking now. I didn't even know you had a bike. Makes sense though, your scrawny ass should be able to pedal up hill like you're being pulled by a rope.

Never mind I found the pic's of your bike. In serious need of TLC. Or a new bike. Have you heard of this thing people are using these days, it's called, the internet? Craigslist, fleabay, mtbr.com... start looking mang.

Pfff... it's fine. Just watch when you get your ass kicked on all the hills on Sunday. ;-)

Yeah, biking. But if you want to go skiing that's fine with me. And yes, as of 4 days ago I have a bike and ride. I suck, but I have ton of energy and am pretty stupid when it comes to what I'll go down.

So it wouldn't be much different than skiing with you.

What kind of ride is this? Would a hybrid do, or is it strictly mountain biking?

Except I'm actually a decent skier. Somehow I have only fell once so far and it wasn't even that bad. Must just be dumb luck. So yeah, are you going Sunday morning? You can even help me work on my bike after the ride (or demand that I get a new one).

It is all off road, mainly single track. But you can ride what ever kind of bike you have. You should see the death trap..... I mean 3 wheels amphebious asualt vehicle that Jonhy Poach rides.
So what time are we meeting? Hoe does 8:00am work for everyone?
It's going to be mostly mountain bike trails, a lot of single track. I suppose a decent hybrid with good tires might be okay.

I'm fairly certain a "decent hybrid" is going to do better than the bastardized steel contraption Austin plans on riding.
That was my thinking. Except I wasn't thinking so much of Austin's 'machine' so much as the kids department store 'bike' that Johnnypoach will be riding. Check out the video in this thread for a better look at what I mean.

I'm going to guess it's probably a little too small for that gangly kid, but it being pink is perfect.
