Cheq 100
After the Red Wing race (6/17) I dropped my bike off at PENN Cycles for them to go through it and replace the fron chain ring. I pcked it up on my way out of town and found out Friday nite at the cabin that I ghad a flat!! Then I reliazed that the carbon rear wheel was damaged and would not seal!! I put a tube in it and during the race I felt dragged down--Both rear pulleys on the rear derialler were frozen (sealed bearings). In the middle of the Cheq forest I pulled my rear wheel off and the cassette just falls off the wheel--What the @#$%%^&^%$##@#$!!!!!
I had to hand tighten the cassette on and put the pulleys on so loose so they would actually spin on the shafts of the screws instaed of the bearings and limped to a out of the woods.
That follwing morning I noticed that they gave me the wrong rear wheel--because when Pam and I were coming home I got a call that my cassette was in --I never knew I was even geeting a cassette!!!!
WOW!!!
