My 'Bent Is Starting to Annoy Me
"Prisoner at War" wrote in message oups.com... Um, hullo, the whole question is, why should the crash have not affected the car's paint job, but got some teeth on my chainring bent!! Also, why should three or four slightly bent teeth on the big chainring occasion catastrophic chain failure???

Take a good look at a chainring and the amount of contact that it could make with a semi-planar surface like a car door or fender and you will find that one or two teeth would be the point of contact, not four! Someone commented about a loose chainring and then there is the mysterious broken chain incident. That might be a more plausible explanation than hitting a car. Bad luck, a cosmic mind ****, HPVelo built a special crap bike just for you? I bet that they didn't. Are you sure that you didn't crash into something when riding you world cruiser capable bike around the office? Are you sure you really ran into your car. Most new cars are built from cheese and a collision with a chainring would not only scratch the paint but dent the metal or the teeth would punch a hole in the metal like a can opener. People ride Velos around the world. How can you be such a major ****up and then complain so much and try to heap blame everywhere except your obvious ineptness? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
