Here Klos I'll explain, since you don't know how bikes work:
You have 2 pedals, opposite eachother on a gear called a sproket. This is mounted on a ball bearing at a connection point on the bike frame below the seat. You have a front tire and a back tire. The back tire is the drive tire. It has it's own set of sprokets to drive the back tire. There is a chain that transferes power from the front sproket to the rear sproket, that's how you move the bike...Your feet turn the front sproket by going up and down, pushing down on the pedal while you lift your other foot up. The chain turns around the sproket, and goes on the teeth of the sproket. If you wear baggy pants, the lower part near your feet has a good chance of getting caught between the chain and sproket, and as you pedal it pulls your pants, and you, down. If your pants are baggy there's a good chance that they will be pulled down off of you, and if your pants are tight, you will be flung off the bike.

There, I hope I didn't confuse you too much Klos, we wouldn't want that...

i have a chain gaurd on my Haro to prevent that from happening...:p

I believe anthropomorphism is the mistake of attaching human emotions/thoughts to lower animals... but I learned that over 6 years ago so I could be wrong.

Edit: Just looked it up. Appears it's also used to describe supernatural intities such as gods, for example, with human attributes... but not non 'living' things.

Sproket? Never heard anyone put it like that before. How many speeds does your bike have?
Why? What is it normally called? :confused:

I dun no about Maz, but I know that I personally have too many gears... 24... I really don't need that many... I use about 12 of those gears in most given circumstances (Top 8 for normal riding, bottom 2 on the second "big" gear, bottom 2 on the third "big" gear).

:blush: Oops...

Oh well....everybody's gotta make a mistake sometime. :p

BTW, it's spelled e-n-t-i-t-i-e-s. Sorry, had to save a little face here. :)
 
It's a 21 speed, I keep it in 4th on the back sproket, then use the 3 front sprokets, and for high speed downhill I put it on 3 front and then used 4-5-6-7 on the back...so I only usually use 6 gears, but that's good enough...

the smaller front sproket is used for up hill and wheelie poping, middle sproket is used for light riding, like speeds below 15, and the big sproket is used for higher speeds, like between 15 and 30(yes I have a speedo on my bike).

That explains my gear theory.
 
And I don't have a chain guard for my bike...it didn't come with one, and it's just something to get broken off or clogged with mud...
