The Gary Fisher Wahoo

[Chuck Lysaght]

I own a new Gary Fisher Wahoo. It's a great bike, but I, along with
many other owners of this bike, wonder why they put those damn plastic
pedals on that bike. Anyone have a clue?

There is a link on my website titled My Bike that has all the specs on
this bike.

Peace,

Chuck

To give you something to pedal with until you put your own favourite pedals on?
You know, clipless/platform/whatever floats your boat.
if you are a die-hard Eggbeater guy, you'ld be ****ed if it came with ATACs, so
they put on cheap "nothing" pedals so you can at least ride it around the
carpark to test it.

Why didn't you just ask them to swap them out for pedals you wanted?
My shop did on my Giant Rainier, no questions asked. With the economy
the way it is, most shops are more then willing to do something like
that when you are buying a bike.

As for why they put the cheap pedals on in the first place, it's all
to keep the bikes price as affordable as possible.

Oh, so you're a ****ing asshole. Hopefully, I'll receive some
intelligent comments about this.

Obviously, the part of the bible where it said "and on the seventh day God
kicked back with some beer and a copy of Hustler" didn't make it out of the
editor's wastebasket.

Ah, is that what you and the Bishop like to gab about after services
are done?

Does he prefer pale girls, or pale boys? Does he fancy you because
you're pale or for some other reason?

Hypocrisy is always amusing!

Hey Chuck... you haven't been receiving a warm welcome from the people on
the newsgroup, but they really mean well. Mostly.

Plastic pedals belong on rusting "Roadmaster" bikes. A lot of middle-age
CEOs and their wives buy the bike that you have, ride them in their
driveways, go for 2 or 3 rides, and then never ride them again. They don't
need the grip that metal platforms provide. And then if you go clipless...

Did you write this before or after you masturbated to My Babe of the
Day? Look, idiot WebTV user, all women who are featured on My Babe of
the Day are 18 year of age, and older. I can't believe you. You're
actually a bike rider? Jeez, what a pinhead.

Gee, they even have asshole WebTV trolls is a mountain bike newsgroup.
You're the first guy who has ever complained about Chuck's Babe of the
Day. Perhaps you'd rather see Dude of the Day, huh JD?
