Anyone have anything they'd like to rant about?

Imma send you video of my taint if you keep it up.

Wait that came out wrong.

Imma send you video of my taint if you don't knock it off.

Wait, shit...

I'm pretty sure a still image of that would suffice. Unless you got some cool tricks you wanna show off of course.

Online bike shops telling me my order has shipped when all they did was print a label. It’s not actually getting picked up until late tomorrow afternoon? Fuck you first world problems!!!

Getting a text that your prescriptions are ready, only to find out that it means that they have just started on the order.
“Come back in 20 minutes”.

That sucks, but I think this is the Bike Related Grumble Thread.

In his defense, he hadn't taken his medicine since his prescription wasn't ready.

we've finally hit that prime, sunny, cool fall weather, and I'm 2 weeks into a broken metacarpal....ugh. at least it was clean simple break, and didn't need to be in a full cast.

Frickin' 6 below this morning.

[buttahflake]

Oh man that’s fucking cold.

[sethschmautz]

I just finished my bike build and I'm in weather slightly warmer than Panchosdad - 6 above for us this morning with trail covered in snow and ice. <Sigh>

Yeah -18 rest of the world here this morning. Maybe get a ride in Fruita this weekend on the new whip.

Do the hand warmers ever get caught on the brake levers?

Two "Local" bike shops attempt to service a 2012 Bomber 55 rc3 evo ti. Combined they have the bike more than a month. Open oil bath, coil spring. One total fail, second shop can barely figure it out after me explaining why oil volume is important, and I don't know shit. Same tech I've have been running since my z2 atom bomb. How is it so alien to people being paid to work on Mtn bikes?

Not defending the shop's apparent lack of knowledge as to open baths, but some of those Marzocchis were super fussy to work on. A bunch of fragile little aluminum bits that'd strip / snap if you looked at them wrong.

How about them just calling to tell me my forks are done, but with 5 wt instead of 7.5 because they forgot to order it, but I can pick my bike up to ride this weekend... and BTW we exploded you I9 free hub while pressing the bearings in so I'll be riding a loaner wheel....and i'll only have to pay cost on the new FHB....thanks?

Dude, you need to start driving to another-towns shop. I’d be livid!

I was a little pissy, then it just got hilarious.

Nope. That's me, btw. And with a little practice, I can get my hands in and out on the fly- so they dont feel trapped. Hand warmers are called pogies, they're imported in concept from the paddling world.

This doesn't involve a large utah retailer of privileged white people toys so I'm not sure where to direct my indignation. I want to help but I need a target to facebook at!
