Update-The bottom bracket bearings on my Madone failed on Monday, going up Dover, crack, rode a bit, another crack, then realized cannot ride this thing, pretty much walked it to Black Rock on Dark Hollow. My fear was that if I kept riding I would f up the frame. Well, sure enough the LBS calls yesterday and says they have taken pictures of the BB housing and sent them off to Trek, their opinion is that the frame is toast. We're talking a 3k bike here. Some of you know that I've already replaced, or rather Trek has replaced, two rear wheels, and a seat mast. I found a few posts on the BB problems and of course months ago when I had the bad wheel I found multiple posts on the Bontrager failures. So the LBS won't say what they are going to do until they hear back from TREK, and of course have told me that they've sold gazillions of them and I'm the only one that's had such a problem, yah right.
Meanwhile-the CWC is tomorrow and I have no choice but to ride my heavy Trek 520 touring bike. Guess I'll try to strip it down and lighten it up tonight.
