Bring back the pin thing!
My chain doesn't often drop off the big ring up front but when it does...
man oh man! It jams solid down there between the crank arm and the big ring. I spent ten minutes with the bike upside down, one foot braced against the downtube, pulling and twisting chains like my life depended on it yesterday. Hollowtech is great, but bring back the pin thing! -- Westie (Replace 'invalid' with 'yahoo' when replying.) |

I'll check tonight but i've noticed it and wondered why it was there... Dan |

Okay, I give. What's the pin thing? It's when you go to the ATM for more cash to spend on bike parts. (That, and also a little /chingus/ on the chainring or crankarm that prevents the chain from wedging in-between the two.) Bill "George Castanza's pin was 'Bosco'" S. |
