I lost the thread: new Trek, SRAM, Chain Suck Frame going to Trek for inspection

This is embarrassing - I can't even remember the guys username. He had an epic thread this month about his new Trek, chain suck damaging the frame, something about the skew in the FD wrong, totally unresolved and keeps sucking or dropping the chain off the FD. SRAM techs couldn't isolate the problem. LBS was being really great. Last I heard the frame is going back to Trek for inspection.

What thread was that?

Why? Do you have a similar problem? If so this may help.

That was good for a chuckle. Hey, is that an Orb he's holding?

Maybe you lost it because you're in the wrong forum. It was over in the 41.

Got it subscribed again, thank you. I couldn't remember the right details to do a search either. This is just one of those epic odd-ball failures that just won't be resolved. I feel for RNAV, but it's more of morbid curiosity. I did look over at the 41, but, well, I'm slipping this afternoon. Even replied to this thread on that thread.

Hey, can I kill this thread now? /thread

I'm looking forward to the zombie-fication of this thread in a few years... :cool:
