The guy with the beard bike needs to learn to trim his front
derailleur, or fix whatever's wrong with it.

Maybe he has a hard time convincing a legitimate bike shop to work on
his ride.

Think it is the rear derailer indexing being off.

His bike worked well enough to finish the ride. Cannot say the same
about the Mopar product.

Q: When is a crossed chain even worse?
A: When it's on a bent.

Phew, ugly nasty feet. Of course, when you ride a bent I guess you get
used to that sort of thing...

Surprising, it's usually the electrical system that fails on Dodge
trucks.

Not true. Cross-chaining is less of a problem with a longer chain, and
does not exist with a mid-drive.

"So much for Mopar quality."

"It's the axle retaining clip..."

Wrong. The Dodge dually uses a Dana 70 differential and axle assembly.
Did you ever see one? It's a really huge mofo with a 10-1/2" diameter
ring gear. Most truck manufacturers spec it on 5-ton trucks, while
Mopar uses it on a one-ton. And it definitely does not use an axle
retaining clip like smaller differentials sometimes do. It uses two
locking axle retaining nuts on each axle with an indexed lockwasher
between them to keep them from loosening, the same as a standard
headset does. If that one loosened, then somebody didn't lock the
retaining nuts.

"Surprising, it's usually the electrical system that fails on Dodge

Chrysler electrical systems are no worse than any other brand. And at
least they never tried "green" insulation on their wiring harnesses
like some of the European manufacturers did.

You self-professed Mopar experts have been reading Consumer"s Reports
too much.

Yes, just a swipe-- but, my Dodge broke electrically so much they
bought me a new Chevy. Fortunately, an automatic so I didn't have to
crawl under and unjam the shift linkage as with another, earlier work
vehicle from The General. I mean, I'm only woofin' in the cause of
humor here, because the broken truck bought me some on-bike ride time
and I didn't tell the boss what I was doing with my vacation, either.

BTW: "No worse than any other" is not exactly high praise g. Talking
"Euro" is reaching.
