It depends. I recall one broken derailleur where I just couldn't shift.
Now this, on the other hand, was a walk out:

That's why I carry a singulator with me on epic rides.

Singulator?? that a fancy name for a chain breaker 🙂

Cheers Dre

Thats a pretty cool bit of kit there! No price though, how much did you pay
for yours??

Cheers Dre

Sounds a little paranoid, but I guess it depends on how far out there you
are. It probably wouldn't have helped in this case; the derailleur hanger
was pretty bent up as well. The guy who was riding it at the time was a
huge dude, which had a bit to do with the end result.

WHHHAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!!!

Damn, I've never messed up a derailleur *that* bad before 🙂 Good effort!

I didn't do it, but I saw it. It was at the end of the ride, and a few of
us were waiting for the stragglers to roll in. I'd loaned my bike to this
body-builder who was at least 250, and he was coming up the hill (probably
in too high a gear, mashing the pedals). Then there was this loud popping
sound, and that was the result. I still give him a hard time for
"exploding" my derailleur. 🙂 But really, he was damn lucky that happened
at the end of the ride and not in the middle of nowhere.

Around US$25. Not a bad price for ride-out insurance. Works with HT
and double-boingers.

I've seen that before.

For the longer rides, I do carry it after walking nearly 8 miles out of
American Standard in PA once. That was the defining moment.

Ride-A-Lot has a "Racer-X" but doesn't even ride MTB demanding trails?

Yeah fair enough, maybe its a low grade of steel?

Are the Titus frames aluminium or titanium??

Cheers Dre

Hi Mark. Look over your shoulder. The Fairfield Inn security is coming

Ride-A-Lot must have got embarrassed so bad that he's trying to silence

me so I can't post here in USENET anymore.

Actually, it could be a couple of variable definitive reasons. Most of
which I think Ride-A-Lot thought that he was the owner of
"alt.mountain-bike" and due to his inability to do anything worthy of
taking our bandwith and using it, by his lame ass videos of which there

is no reason for him to be using a MTB, he is mad that I'm insulting
him and not allowing him to be the focus of alt.mountain-bike as he was

the most frequent poster prior to me showing up.

Apparently Ride-A-Lot has some puppetmasters who told him to call &
complain about me, and he feels he think he achieved ends of
"silencing" me, but all the more now I'm going to insult this obese,
nerdy, inept athlete who should not be riding a MTB but instead a urban

hybrid bike. Ride-A-Lot needs some "validation" from people and
alt.mountain-bike is where he was getting it, until I showed up &
started mocking his lame ass.

Knowing that there's a "cry to feel important" some women that practice

witchcraft took advantage of it, and his need for attention to feel
valid, by offering a way to him to gain some sort of revenge on me,
such as calling the place I use computers at to post. In that this
"man" would even do this, shows a crisis in character.

Nice, sounds like a nice bit of gear. If I hadn't allready started building
up a single speed I'd be very tempted!
