Finally got a ride!!! :D Picked up a new Felt S22 which I love love love love love love love. I've had it all of about 6 days, riding everyday, and noticed about the 3rd day, something was majorly amiss. My shifts were missing, and clanky, or doubling up. WTF!!! So we adjusted deraileurs, and tweaked pieces to no avail. I finally called the shop and told them my dilemma.
I forgot to mention, I'm in the sticks in Mississippi, and the choices for bike shops are poor at best, so I was forced to drive the 2.5 hours to the shop that ordered it for me.
After leaving it for a couple of hours, and returning, my mechanic said," Well........ I've got good news, and I've got bad news." :eek: My front deraileur hanger was cracked. AHHHHH! Good news, I get a new bike. So for now, my ride is sans front deraileur, so I'll just have to pedal harder.....
Anybody ever had this problem?
