Lemon Law for Bikes??
I haven't been blogging much lately, mostly because every ride I complete, something goes wrong with my bike and I want to throw it out the window when I get home. Seriously. The crank bolt has come loose every ride four or five times in a row, despite lock-tite. The front derailleur cable broke yesterday, out of the blue. The water bottle cage behind the seat dropped a couple of bolts somewhere on my route… the list goes on. It's not like I don't take care of the thing. My mechanic friends are getting sick of seeing me. At first it was "well, TT bikes are just finicky" and "now you know what it's like to own a Ferrari…. Constant maintenance" Now it's more like…."You?!? AGAIN?!?! Get this …four letter word, seven letter word, piece of four letter word OUT OF HERE!" Either that, or they just laugh at me openly…. Ahh… fun times. I'm sick of it. I think maybe I'll take it to a shop and have it rebuilt from scratch. If that doesn't work, I'm running it over with a semi.
eff that loctite crap. We're going after that betty with a tube of 2-part epoxy and a heat gun.
