I just bought a new hardrock compand i took it out for its first ride and i was switching the left gear that was already set on #2 and when i switched it to gear #1 or #3 the chain started wobbleing and bouncing around on the gear until i switched it back to gear #2. IS this a problem that i should let the store i bought it from fix or is this justa quick fix? Also i still am having a problem with my shocks, when i put pressure on them air seeps out is this bad or is that supposed to happen?

Take it back to them and have them adjustthe bike correctly. This should have been done before you took it out of the store.

It's only a minor adjustment, nothing you should be overly concerned with.

Dude, the same exact thing happened to me. They have to adjust the derailleurs. Nothing major to worry about.

Does any one know if my shock realising air is normal? Is my shock leaking or is this normal or not for a JUdy TT Fork?

It is not normal at all. Thats definitely something you should have themlook at. From what Ive heard the Judy TT fork isnt all that great.

I concur that the Judy TT sucks. It'll do me until I can afford to upgrade, but I am definately looking forward to kicking old Judy out to the curb.
