Mountain Biking - I cant beleive what I just did..........

:eek: :( :mad: I was riding my crappy wal-mart full suspension in my back yard... actually its not that bad..Its held up for about a year of really hard riding..........anyways I built a little skinny into a jump and I jumped it really high...........about 3 and half feet and hit really hard..........my bike suddenly came to a skreeching halt........MNy rear derailer had gotten caught in the back spokes when I hit the ground and poped up into the spoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not I cant ride for who knows how long..........I have to wait untill this summer to get a new bike so I guess thats when I will be riding because I dont want to spend the cash on a new derailer.....I guess I will be riding my bmx bike for a while untill it gets fixed or I get my new bike.,....I just wanted to post that........it happend about 10 mintues ago....... :(

this sucks HARDCORE!!!!!!!!!! no riding for a long time./..................."me crying"

That happens on good bikes too. Dont spend another penny on that bike. Get yourself something way better.

You can get a deore rear d for like 30 bucks man. Or a SRAM X7 for 40.

You could prolly pick up an Alivo or other cheapy rear d for less than that

what do you recommend but I really dont want to spend money but I will have to go a month and a half without a bike/?//

I am going to buy a SPec.Hardrock Comps DIsc....oh yeah

You could be like that guy in the Citi credit card commerical. Just run around with your friends and pretend to be on a bike. :D

by any chance was your wally-world bike a mongoose dxr-al, i have one of those torn up in my backyard, but the derailleur went in the spokes once and they sent me an alivio to replace the bo-bo crap they put on it, i put the alivio on my gary fisher wheni converted it back from singlespeed

I hate cheap bikes! My previous ride was from "Source for sports" and although they are somewhat a bike shop, they are not strictly bikes. The thing did take alot of abuse, but here is the list of problems I had with it. I gues I rode it a little hard for what it was ment for....
1st-new drailer
2nd-new drailer
3rd-new drailer
4th-snapped swingarm (and not even a big jump either)
5th-new drailer
6th-ok fed up with drailer, had the chain cut short and put a chain guide "one speed drailer" thingy. LOL bent the hell out of that. So I put the chain on two bigger sprockets to make up for the slack (the new gearing was not 2 in the front three in the back, so 6th gear)
7th-bent back rim, was replaced by sun rim (and new tire)
8th-you know where the front forks "open" at the bottom to grab the front axel, snapped that right in half, I have no Idea how I was just riding it and I noticed it cracked, then ten minutes later it was off. So i found a way to tighen the front wheel on, sorta "shoved" the metal piece back in place, then electrical taped it all together.

The next week I picked up m Kona! So yeah trust me I have felt your pain....over and over, and let e tell you the bike shot hated me because I had to pay next to nothin to have it all fixed because of a two year warenty!

Sorry to hear your bike broke, good that you are ok though. You can always eBay yourself a Tourney or something like it for less than 5 bucks.

i am going to ebay right!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no sadley it was a next?

Don't waste your money on that heap of crap. Summer's not that far away it's MAY for Chrissakes

The mods should make a sticky, especially in the MTB and BMX forum, about why not to buy Wal Mart bikes.

yes!!!!

You think?

Yep Walmart bikes are such trash, should have gotten a Honda DS at Toys R Us for $50. he he he, Honda making mountain bikes, wonder how much the the Acura line is. What a way to tarnish your name. Sorry to hear about the misfortune, be glad you didnt suffer injury.

Just MTBs and BMXs? What, Wal-Mart now sells premium quality road bikes? I've never seen Lance Shopping there either. Or are roadies just assumed to not be cheapskates?

Don't swallow your monocle, kid. Wal-Mart doesn't SELL road bikes. Feel better?

Wal-Mart doesn't SELL road bikes.

Wal-Mart doesn't sell bikes, period. We call them BSOs. Bike Shaped Objects.

A $150 road bike, 29 lb shipping weight. That's scary. I wonder what size it is.

I've never been more sorry to be wrong. A "GMC"-branded bike. Yeesh.

Those frame/fork/rims look pretty... the cranks and derraileur look like they're standard issue junk on those bikes.

Wal-mart road bike. Faux-aero rims and a kickstand.

Even the roadies aren't safe.

I don't feel so well.

The God Dang Thing Has A Bashguard! A Bashguard!!

BACK IN STOCK!!
The road bike forums gonna get newb'd bad.

"For the price of a wheel I got a WHOLE bike! Who's the fool NOW!"

just shortern the chain to fit a gear you want, and now you have a single speed!

Or throw it under a moving bus, and have a modern art sculpture.
