Just getting started

No. One of the cables had come out of the guide and was messing it up. (from what I understand) I think I probably did that when I was taking it on and off my rack.

But he also did some adjustments to make sure it was as good as it could be. Looking forward to testing it out.

Oh.. I did ask him about group rides. He said there arent any. They have tried before, but couldnt get and keep any interest in it.

do you think you may be able to go to another area, say 30 or minutes away to find one? Or maybe you can become the leader and start it up. . That's a big undertaking though. ewwwww.. lol

Can you tell me how to phonetically pronounce your name? is it a combo of your name or another language?

BTW: Mine is pronounced (tight body) I gave myself that name so I could eventually have one.

[sadieme]

No.. I'm not one to start that sort of thing. 'Specially being a newbie myself. Maybe once I get more experienced..... I am in the middle of nowhere... and we are biggest town within 60 miles or more. Its a town of 20K.

My username is just like it looks. The name "Sadie" with 'me' after it. Sadie was taken, so I had to add something! LOL.

I like your name, although I didnt know what it meant until now. But I like it. I'm striving for the same thing!

[tytbody]

Now I can say it. Thank you Funny how we come up with names. (waving) lol

[sadieme]

Dang! I went out today for a ride and the gears did the same thing. The cable came out of the guide again. I ended up 4 miles from my car with only the very low gears to get me back! I got nowhere slowly! LOL

Back to the LBS on tues!

ohhh.. tytbody.....

@Sadieme, do you mean that the shifter cables, where they pass through the cable hosing is coming away from the cable "stops"? The cable stops are the metal parts on the frame of the bike where the ends of the cables butt up against and slide into? I wonder what makes that happen? Maybe the bike shop can show you what to do when that happens so if you're out and it happens you won't be stuck somewhere in a high or low gear.

YES! Thats exactly what it is. This bike came with some sort of light on the front of it, and that cable is getting caught on it and it ends up wrapped around it and I assume thats whats pulling it out of the stop. I tried to pull it and put it back in the stop... but I couldnt get it there. (came close though)

I am going to take whole light thing off of it so it wont happen again.

It sure was irritating though! Oh well....
