I have NEVER pushed my bike off the trail. I've had to jump up and down on the wheele, adjust spokes, and disconnect the front brakes so the front wheel would roll through the fork... I have had no less than 8 trips to the ER (including a separated shoulder (NOT dislocated,but SEPARATED)... and I STILL RODE OFF THE TRAIL.
I think tire levers are optional... usually, I am so mad about having a flat that the rage makes pulling the tires off really easy. LOL
(I'm just kidding! Actually, I have a nice little patch kit that incororates the levers.)

SRAM power link per chance? I've one go, I found the side plate holes that should have been a "keyhole" shape were completely ovalled. It happened to me whilst driving through the pedals and luckily for me it was my chest that met headstock/stem. Whilst my mate met, pavement, lamp pole and road sign before meeting pavement again.
Nice bike for a Crack'n'fail:pHand in Hand!

I'll deal with our winters just to avoid your summers! Besides, it hasn't been too bad; mid 50's to low 60's (Usually 50s for afternoon trail time). Not too bad, just toss on a bit of 'sniffle-gear' and hit the trails. My new riding jacket came in with perfect timing! :D Just can't ride if it's been raining too much (all day today).

Uh, yea they are! :mad: :p Sorry, but I absolutely hate southern summers. I tried for several years to live in the south. I don't think there was a happier moment in my life than when my moving van crossed the mason dixon line... ok, so it's a close second to the birth of my daughter. :cool: Originally Posted by Cris1102

thats funny ... Also funny how different people are. You couldn't pay me enough money to live where winters last that long and get that cold.
I'll stay where 75% of the year is green, the birds are singing, the flowers are in bloom and I'm covered in sweat lol :p.........................
