This is the "improved" thread where position of parts has been deemed important. The bike has to be on-point, or else you're going to end up with comments like "multiple failures".
Never said I couldn't tell what the failures are. But the failures that you note may be a bit different than the failures that I note. Some are universal, but either way to simply say 'multiple failures' is at best lazy and at worst, arrogant. But if you take 30 more seconds to comment on the actual failures, you may help someone on here who isn't aware of every little considered failure. Plus, it's far more interesting reading... 'Multiple failures' doesn't really add to the discussion, that's all I was pointing out.
