Oh jeez well thanks for the heads up. I couldnt dish out too much $$$ for a bike at the moment so I thought this would work. Guess you get what you pay for. Anywho, Ill try to make the best of it. Ill take it to my LBS and have them check everything out first when I go to get pedals. I wont be riding my bike very hard, since I live in a small town and work, school and home are within 3 miles of each other. But that potential hub problem will have me worried. Is something like that fixable? If at some point I take the bike to the bikeshop and say I want a track hub is that something they could do?
