When someone says:
Oh my god... the realization is just dawning on me. This whole argument happened because you fell asleep in middle school English class. I'm not even writing that as some kind of insult. You are ACTUALLY, LITERALLY unable to correctly understand written English.
This is some cosmic horror sh*t...
Do you mind if I ask you which year you graduated high school in which state?

You see the word "but" in my first sentence? That's where A) and B) are separated. Why do I need to explain grade 3 English class grammar rules to you? Again, where is your reading comprehension? Do you mean to tell me that this entire argument originated from the fact that you don't know how to read?
What I said was A) it would work fine on a compatible drive train; however B) it wouldn't work on a mismatched drivetrain.
And since mechanics work on unknown bikes, it's too dangerous to blindly assume what the previous guy installed was compatible. The question is not whether you know what is compatible on YOUR OWN bike. The question is, as a mechanic working on unknown bikes, do you know what the PREVIOUS guy installed? No you don't know, so you'd better not blindly assume, because if you blindly assume wrong, then you'll damage the bike.
What's difficult to understand about this child level simple concept??? HELLO???

Stop backtracking. It's not making you look any better, and your passive-aggressive apology is not accepted.

Does anybody ever tire of arguing and just drop a discussion that's not going anywhere? Oh wait, my bad, how can one build a reputation if you let your opponent think he won?
Sad.
