So, next- How are your shifter pods/mechanisms? H2O in those?
Hey Ken,
I'll be honest with you, this whole "problem" caught me by surprise. Like I said, I have not been riding my geared bike much lately, but when I was, I noticed that shifting my bike was NO WHERE NEAR as easy as my buddies bike was shifting. So I pulled out the TriFlow, and went thought this exercise sometime in the fall. Everything was BUTTER-SMOOTH, and I was REALLY HAPPY with how it was shifting.
Stuck it up in the rafters for a couple of weeks, pull it out for a big ol' ride, and this is how it is treating me?
Do bikes have feelings? Feelings that can get hurt?
I am with you on the TriFlow though. And I HAD used that not more than about a month or two before I let it start collecting dust.
I also was wondering about the shifters.
