These wheels were take-offs from a brand new bike, never ridden. Front is a 15mm axle, rear is 12x142mm. Sealed rim wall is tubeless ready. They retail for $750, asking $500. http://www.eastoncycling.com/en-us/dirt ... 70-xct-836
not drunk. Dumb, maybe. I still don't see how I'm wrong. 1 person = teammate's 2+ people = teammates' right?
No, but I'm not a teacher so it is hard for me to explain. He singled out one from a group, and then made the phrase possessive - of the group. Don't forget, when you put the apostrophe after an s, you are basically leaving off the implied s that goes after the apostrophe. One of my teammates's wheelset is for sale. You've got to include the group and then make it a possessive of he group. So, had he said "it's my teammate's", it would have been correct and easier to deal with (putting aside that it might have required a rewording of his paragraph - I didn't go back to re-read while typing this). Or if the object, "one" would have actually been the wheelset instead of a member of a team, it would have been easier too and then would have been "one of my teammate's", wherein teammate is singular - "the wheelset belongs to my teammate", therefore it is "one of my teammate's group of wheelsets in his garage," or whatever. Or I'm totally wrong - especially in explaining it.
Ooh-- had he said "one teammate", then yes the wheelset is one teammate's wheelset. (by the way, I don't think wheelset is a word since my pc keeps wanting to correct me by separating it into two words, but I like it as a single word, so that's how I'll keep writing it.) Instead, he said one "of" a group of people, in this case his teammates.
careful... you're close to crossing forums. Bad things happen when you cross forums. Well, except for Burke and THE picture. That was a good thing.
