Does "prize pack" mean crap I want to get out of my basement that I couldn't sell/give away on Craigslist? :)

Less than one hour left until Trivia! My internet connection is real buggy today so if it is a few minutes late that is why.

Having worked in the bike biz for the last ten years I've accumulated a fair amount of promo and odds and ends. It's all bike related, some stuff that's usefull and some stuff that's just downright odd :D. I put a box of stuff together last night. Maybe I'll take a picture of the stuff to post after the winner has received it.

No worries just trying to make it easy to figure who was the first person to get them all right. I think the Fox* fork I'm giving away would get everyone try their best.

You are getting there. I won't count spelling mistakes since you pretty much have the idea on those. My quick glance says you have six still wrong.

If you correct your answers maybe post them in a new post so that I know the time you posted.

[berrywise]

I'm going for lunch be back in 10 minutes.

Maybe I made it to difficult? You won't believe your eyes when you get this prize pack. It's out of sight!

[Wolfchimp]

Thanks for posting up the questions Scott! I learned some interesting bike-related things today but now I should get back to work. Ha ha ha. Good luck to someone else.

Bikertex is right #7 is Steve Larsen:D

8. What BMX/Freestyle trick involves the rider jumping their bike and then rotating themself around their bike 360 degrees in the air?

This question was worded poorly.

By my count you have six wrong.

[berrywise]

Hint: Since nobody has gotten number four right yet (and I'm not even sure how factual this question is.... Google "Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a blacksmith living in a village near Dumfries, Scotland" and you should find the answer that I have.

[Pete Hamer]

Any chance you will tell us which ones are wrong/right if this drags on too long?
At least give me a hint on #9 pleeease:D!

[berrywise]

Hint: Only #1 and #4 havne't been answered correctly yet. Best I can tell at least.

[Tex]

I don't know, I'm affraid :crazy2:

[Tex]

Oh, and I did the Google search on Kirkpatric Macmillian this is what it said

The first modern day bicycle was made in 1839 by Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a blacksmith living in a village near Dumfries, Scotland. It was made to go 140 miles per hour in 1842.

[iceskier]

Interesting the stuff you get on the web when searching. I found one thing that said he got a ticket for travelling too fast, another said he got the ticket for injuring a small girl. Another said he could go 8mph, another 14mph, another 140mph. Unreal. Such a wealth of "facts".

[Burke]

I remember having to tell a customer that brought in a positron rear derailleur that no one stocked the derailleur wire anymore, and he'd have to replace his worn out manual indexing derailler. He wasn't pleased.

[Buck]

you both owe me one thing out of the package, for passing on the facts about the trickage...I really doubt you would have found that online. :p :D

Shimano's (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_sa-o.html#shimano) original system of indexed shifting (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_i-k.html#index). Positron placed the detents (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_da-o.html#detent) in the derailer (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_da-o.html#derailer), which had no return spring. Some versions of Positron used a double cable to push and pull the derailer back and forth, other versions used a solid, push-pull cable. Most other indexing systems place the detents in the control lever.

14mph or 140mph? This was a bad question and the answer I'm unsure of. I found it on some other bicycle trivia question and found another site that backed it up so I went with it. I think it was a typo.

I'll do this again sometime in the future and maybe make the question a bit easier to find answer for.

If you ever come across that again send them down to Gil and Bike King. I hear he has a bunch in stock. I still think Positron is the fastest shifting groupo they ever made. You could go from low to high in a split second.

[Wolfchimp]

4. 140mph! (thats insane) I'm guessing it was 14mph.:crazy2:

[Wolfchimp]

Once again...thanks for posting the questions. It was really interesting.

Prize Packs are in the mail! Thanks guys and stay tuned for round to in the future.
