Some would tell you that sac is always SACFW. If you like to listen to the men in the forum *****. Typically the better deals are on women's stuff.

I'm over sac since they changed their return policy to 30 days. I'm typically too lazy to return quickly
So less impulse buying.

I'm a chainlove girl myself. When the gals stuff comes up, it's usually a great deal.

It's an addiction. I'm a woot.com junkie myself. I have 3 remote control helicopters sitting in a box. Yeah, I really needed those. :rolleyes:

Oh, wow, when did they do that?!? I was just bragging about their fantastic return policy the other day. I wonder if all the sister sites changed their policies as well... Bummer. :(

They did on May 20th... anything bought before that, you can return at any time... anything after that, 30 days. And yes, it's on all of the sister sites... backcountry & backcountry outlet still are unlimited. For now.


I have this huge return box that I've been filling for like 6 months that I need to get off my *** & send back to them.

Does anyone know how to REMOVE the Chainlove thing that is at the bottom of my computer screen? I can't figure it out, and I don't want it there anymore.

probly a right mouse click on the icon will give you the choice of removing it.

It's a legitimate medical expense!!! ;) :p You need something from across the room, neck hurts, sitting post PT with an ice pack, send the helicopter. ;)

That's tax deductible. :cool:

even though I am now a bike shop owner, I still check out SAC from time to time. Before the shop I was addicted.
Now when I look it's to check out what they are getting a hold of, and who is selling to back country, and whether or not the deal is all that great. It's just another form of addiction I guess. I did once buy some L and M lights on SAC that were closeouts. They were cheaper than I could get them for. I use them for our "demo under the stars" mtn bike demo's that we do here. (AZ in the summer means mtn biking at night or VERY early am).
I was however very turned off by a quite tasteless press release they sent out when they launched their mtn bike site huckandroll.
It basically called mountain bikers "scab pickers" and had a statement like "hikers and climbers don't know jack s**** about mtn biking".... Hmmmm how many people do I know that do all three?? Umm one WORKS for me.
I think they were trying to go for some cool, macho, we rule because we live on the edge vibe. But it didn't work for me.
So it cast a dark shadow on how I feel about them. I won't say I'm boycotting them, I'm just a bit jaded.

yeah, steep and cheap/backcountry's/whatever copy has some issues. Which is why I usually don't actually read it. They seem to be trying to be cutting edge & cool. Which is not so cool.

I wish they would Tweet their new products. It's a pain to refresh my tabs at work all day.

Go to this page (http://www.chainlove.com/chainlove/fuel_your_addiction.html), figure out which one you installed, and click on "more information" to find out how to uninstall.

Go to

cleansnipe.com - that autorefreshes
or

gearattack.com - this one will autorefresh if you tell it to

Nope.

That's the logical solution, and I've done that several times over the past few months to make sure I was doing it right. I have the Firefox Plugin and there is no "more information" text to click.

There is for the Desktop Alert, but that's not what I have.

It's really frustrating that it's not simpler to the end user to work these things. They make it really easy to install, but a PITA to uninstall. It doesn't bother me, it can stay there if need be, but it is taking up room on my machine.

Oh, bummer. There are directions for the IE plug-in, also. I guess they assume that FF users are savvy enough to figure it out on their own? :p Sorry that I don't use FF, so I can't help any more than that. I use Maxthon/IE, so I'm able to go to set-up -> plugins and just uncheck the box next to any plugin I want to uninstall. Maybe FF has something similar?

They just autoupdate & show all the sac related websites. gearattack keeps a log of what's shown up when.

I use FF; SAC and Chainlove auto refresh whenever there is a new item.

hey Tulip, try this: Go to Tools, then Add-ons, then find Chainlove, click, and there should be an uninstall button. You have to restart Firefox, but then it should be gone. Worked for me when I swapped out that one for the Bonktown one...:rolleyes:

This Terry thing, though, could really get me in trouble! Darn!
