powdahbonz Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 1.5 miles in, buddy breaks his chain-farting around for 45 mins trying to repair linkage-get back out to road and I blow a sidewall on my rear tire on a root-stop to pick up a new tread-Kenda tag was different than actual tire-wrong size-shoulda stayed in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 We didn't leave Wells until almost noon. Rode in from Ogt. Rd. Up second from the north and the up Mt A. via chestnut oak and Fern. The wet made climbing difficult. Roots and slick rock were like ice. I saw one other bike in 4 hours. My friend got separated and ended up riding out to Flo's in York, while I rode around looking for him. I finally gave up and rode back out to the north via Second Hill. 28 miles. I wasn't planning on an epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR. JOHN DEERE ! Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 like i have a long wick to begin with !!! friday picked up the bike for the 15hr complimentary tune from the bike shop. figured it would be a good time to do, while i was IR, and chomping at the bit to get back out. i explained to the 4th tech to fix the bike for the same problem, and i hoped he could fix it. said it shifted great on the stand! then take it on the flat asphalt test drive in the parking lot again, seemed okay. its not like i can get on it right now, so me testing it is useless, until i get on a trail. saturday morning 1st ride in over 6 weeks, i was at otis afb in bourne, boring, flat and easy, but pumped to be back on the saddle. 1st hill, same problem, the fhukkin thing will not stop skipping out, and ghost shifting. know when i say hill i mean maybe 20 ft of vert, long and graduall pitch. i couldn't believe it. since ive had this bike, 5-6 rides total, with 5-6 trips to the shop. so i brought it back this morning, told the same story to the 4th person down there. they took a look at it again, same thing all set. the thing came lose, just tightened the cable, your all set! bring it down to big river in the flat as fhuck state of rhode island. 1st hill, same thing. how could the cable have loosened up in the 25 minute ride to the trail. i transport my bike standing up with two nylon ratchet straps, all that the strap's touch on the bike is the seat post, and the gusett right around the headset. for a "sledgehammer" it seems to be a marketing scam to me. i can't even get this bike to the good stuff at some of these places and to use it the way it was built for. i must have missed the memo, that i had to take classes at ITT tech to keep this thing running. what a joke! i understand going thru it after a coupel rides and tightening the hardware, etc, etc. wtf do i do? call santa cruz direct, go to another santa cruz dealer, but this is bull$hit. if i go to another dealer, how much are they gong to want to help me, if i bought the bike elsewhere. i rode the wheels off my canondale for 3 seasons, this $hit never happened. heres the history of this bike shop and this bike. 1st day i go to pick it up, pick out the pedals and turn the pedals for the 1st time, and the pedals aren't clearing the rear frame they forgot to install some spacers in the crank. :freak3: go back 2 days later, the spacers fixed, bring the bike home. my first pedal, the rear derailer bends in and the bike wont pedat at all ?? call them immediatly and get accused of transporting the bike wrong. bring it back that night, they all looked shocked. wrong size derailer, they then put on a smaller one, that was supposed to go on the bike in the 1st place, and then cut the chain to size ??? since then the bike can climb an ant hill without skipping out and ghost shifting up a gear. just what i need to pedal harder and put more strain on my hip.

Enzo Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 guy I think the problem is you're getting your bike tuned at a shop in RI. hey the wif just piped in and is wondering if you're exceeding the weight limit of your new rig. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big mario Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Get a bike stand and learn to tune yourself, It will save you a ton of hassles. Of course, when your stem comes loose in the first turn of a short track race on a new build and you are not carrying any tools, you can only yell at yourself for so long..... good luck on the bike and your recovery. I have had good luck with my SC's Stevo, squats are in the low 400's. I'll go back to my own thread now mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I never knew Chris Farley rode a rice burner. There's a constant rumble in the air but so far things are pretty tame. I've been camped out on rt 3 near Squam Lake with a "Show Us Your T*TS" sign and haven't had much action yet. Although I've been getting lots of dirty looks from the gray haired "On Golden Pond" wannabes driving by in their MB & BMW suv's. Looking forward to the weekend when it'll be much warmer and many more yahoos in the area. I'm still waiting to see Stevo and da wif cruise by in their "colors". Do you think that guy has a "1%er" patch?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 :lol:enzo it's like going to the mall now isn't it....all RUB's the edge is gone. jd that guy looks like our truck driver on his scoot the fat fcuk. he called me the other day to tell me he had an accident and would be late getting back to the shop...i told him to make sure he got a police report....he said it wasn't that kind of accident and that he had to go home and change his skivvies!! guess what, all those polish jokes are true!!!!!! we should change our patch to a true 3 piece with top and bottom rockers we can add: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
