Curses!!!!!!!!
 
grr, I have to go buy anothre derailluer (argh!) so, i've already gone through to, my second one was a Shimano Tourney or something, I was doing endoes ikn my drive-way, and i went to fast and braked to fast, I leapfrogged over the handlebars only too hear a sickening crunch behind me (not really, my bike just fell down) i turned around and my bike looked fine, the gears where fine, I went to first gear, and HOLY FLAMING ****!! the derailluer had twisted back horribly, twice... by the way, I've got a Giant upland.

i would expect that to happen. its a five dollar derallieur. maybe you should spring for a deore or something.

You've got to treat a bike gently, my man. Gently.

<<<<See? Like how I treat mine. Take care of them and they will take care of you. :D

but i spent $125 to get a bloody service and all i got was new brake pads and a **** derailluer... now THAT sucks...

I'm saving for a new bike (im 13 so i wont get it for awhile, lol) so I'm wondering if I should get a good derailluer but on a crap bike like the upland or get a crap one and just keep saving... I'm getting something like a Norco Bigfoot... or hopefully an Atomik..

Pink_Ninja 02-10-06 09:28 PM
