Hi Guys I was just woundering if you could post up simple but annoying problems you have run into while riding your bike or just getting on to it!

most annoying thing was today. you can adjust the rear drop-out area to shorten the chainstay lengths. I had to get the holes to line up perfectly, like 1mm off and it wouldn't fit. took me atleast 10 minutes on each side to get it finally lined up.

the break lines decide to start leaking as you ride out of the garage getting ready for the mountain!

haha ya, its a good thing in a sense, it prevents you from ripping your frame apart. but at the same time, they break too easy and all. i sold a brand new frame to a guy, it was a replacement from warranty. the thing had never done anything other than sat in my room, and it turned out the hanger was bent! it it the floor once i think haha. guy had a spare though, so it was all good.

or you haul your bike up ( walking ) up the side of the mountain to the top and 10 feet into the trail your line springs a leave and its down a trail, you need front and rear brakes or you ummmmm DIE!!!! i was pissed and costed my bike mostly down the trail.
