I've been running mine since they came out.  I run it tight and use lots of pedal pressure, and haven't noticed any of the noises or problems people have brought up.

What gets me most is that these are the people who would most greatly benefit from a more democratic socialist form of government.  Lower to middle class Republicans drive me crazy in that sense.  They're the ones who would be hurt the most trying to pay for college, pay for health care.  Republicans create trade agreements that fuck American workers, they try to bust up unions, they help the companies who robbed American workers of their retirements.  But some cheeto in a wig is spouting hate speech, that's their guy???  It boggles the mind.

Agreed 100%.  I have never been able to understand why the people who would benefit the most from a democratic run government seem so against everything they stand for.  I just can't put myself in the mindset of someone who is that ignorant to everything around them.

The right placed the idea that if they stay they will "lose their Britain to outsiders".  They implanted fear of loss.

Hahaha because no one ever broke any thing gsport or odyssey. Bike parts break. Get off yer high horse Georgie. I don't think I could name one of my friends that had wombolts or twombolts that didn't  break them.

It's a good thing we aren't friends then.  My OG first batch wombolts are still getting used daily.

They wanted to make something that had the feeling of the original trilogy, and this accomplishes that.

I wanna say JJ Abrams really pushed the whole 'Rey Skywalker' thing a bit too much on purpose to mislead people cause if they're gonna follow the trilogy then there has to some big shocking reveal similar to Vader 'I am your father' dealio. It's gonna be harder to shock your audience unless a second time unless you mislead them to thinking something else. It's obvious that Rey's origins will play a big deal.

I feel as if the huge climactic death scene was the "I am your Father" shocker.

I'm not following your inbreeding theory, Anakin had no father, and his family tree went Schmi>Anakin/Padme>Luke.  Not a whole lot of room for anything, since only Luke and Leia were the only ones alive from that entire family.

I believe his Uncle Owen was the only other child Schmi had. He wasn't force sensitive, and also died without having any children, so I doubt Rey is any relation to that side of the family unless she is Luke's direct offspring.

Did you use a broom to reach that?  haha 



Uncle Owen had a side piece at Mos Eisley. Which turned out to be Schmi's sister. Were the elevated midichlorian levels were recessive on both Schmi's sister and her Nephew, Owen their progeny would have dominant recessive genes for elevated midichlorian levels.

The Organa family knew about this and sent her away to Jakku to protect her from that diddler Luke. If he diddled Rey, can you imagine the force sensitive mutant?!

I had the exact same problem, I'll shoot you an email about a warranty replacement G.

Someone got sacked.

Did someone really get fired over this?  The job posting makes it look more like they need a CAD guy, not an engineer.  This seems like it would be more of a failure on the engineers side vs. the CAD guys side.

In smaller companies, that is usually the same guy.

Any chance there will be an aluminum guard for the Clutch?  The polymer one lasted about a week before it cracked and part of it stared bending in-towards the spokes.  I had to cut pieces of it off to keep my wheel spinning.

I'm disappointed because it slides so well, but just doesn't hold up.
In the other thread G was talking about first production run issues that sound similar to yours. Hit them up for warranty.

Nice!  Thanks for the heads up.

Nah, Obi Wan was abstinent gay. Remember Anakin's mom, Schmi, had other kids. The family Luke was descended from? She's gotta be some fucked up desert cousin inbreeding.

I'm not following your inbreeding theory, Anakin had no father, and his family tree went Schmi>Anakin/Padme>Luke.  Not a whole lot of room for anything, since only Luke and Leia were the only ones alive from that entire family.

Fuck I am ruined by a writ I read about Abrams rehashing the same shit. Rey is Luke. Finn is Han. Bb-88 is R2D2. The shit the droid is carrying is Leia's message to Obi-wan.

I think TFA is the 2nd worst in the franchise.

Did anyone watch the Clone Wars cartoon series? There is an episode were Anakin, his padawan and Obi Wan are pulled to some crazy shit in the outer rim. Turns out to be super force family of a father, a daughter (who is light) and a son (who is dark). I wonder if Snoke is that character.

I see this argument often, and while I do understand that there are similarities, they aren't large enough that I'm bothered by them even a little bit. 

They wanted to make something that had the feeling of the original trilogy, and this accomplishes that.  They took aspects from all three originals and brought them into the new trilogy, it works without feeling like they just hired new actors to remake ANH.

Now, in the next movie, they can stray from that, and it will feel more like a natural progression from Jedi, instead of being completely different right off the bat, and then everyone is bitching because "it should have been more like the originals!!"

Also, Kylo Ren as a character was pretty much perfect.  He's exactly what Anakin should have been in the prequels.  He's a young, pissed off teenager who is struggling to find his place.  Now that he's had his ass handed to him and taught a lesson, we are left to wonder if he's going to come back stronger after removing his call to the light, or freak out and go on a murderous rampage at a moment's notice.  This is what you want in him as a villain, the unexpected.  You don't know what will happen from one second to the next because he is so unstable.

some people hate em. one shop my mate was trying to get some wedges from said they wouldnt stock them and they hated them and they were the worst cranks ever. they often post about how amazing it is every time they build a wheel with a profile hub though.

my eclats have lasted ages, ill probs grind through the pedal boss before i snap them i reckon. will replace them with odysseys when they do die though, only reason i got them was cos they were dirt cheap and basically brand new

Oh, so they are idiots then.  That explains the unjustified hatred of a good crank.

shit breaks sometimes. everyone has a different experience with the parts they buy.
personally i hate the cranks and i also hate the ratchet, i probably had faulty parts or some shit.

True, but if it breaks due to user installation error, it's not the crank that's at fault, therefore the hate is unjustified.
