The hanger is a sacrificial part; it needs to break off in a crash to prevent the leverage of the derailleur from cracking a frame. This is normal and customary on all high-end bikes. If it was welded on to the frame that would defeat the purpose of the hanger.. Two hangers are historically...

That sounds symptomatic of have the handle bars too far back towards the body and the arms a bit too bent. Try move the handlebars forward 5mm at a time until it stops. You can also back out the headrest a bit; you may be pushed too far forward in the cockpit.

I'm still trying to figure out where these hills of iowa are looks flat to me :)

Should be mention it sounds awful holding the bike and standing next to it; but ring it while riding and it's a beauty; I have no idea why

For the trails and non motorized people I've been completely please with the Oi bell. super loud and stealthy

That's just the magic point MTB gearing goes past 1to1 and road doesn't; just a marker nothing magical.

50/34 by 11-36 is about a good as you can get with out going exotic. Check out Rick's threads about wolf tooth components. Out of curiosity how heavy is the bike + rider; 36x36 is 1to1 and that should have been enough to get you up the hills. So training might be the missing item.

If you have a smart phone then the new Element mini at $99 with the speed sensor included is a great entry unit.

The hard part is balancing 3 bikes at once; and the garage is smaller on the inside than the outside; it's all wibbling wobbly timey wimy

Takes most people 2-3 rides to get use to leaning back further; after 10 you'll be a pro; handling wise. Getting the headrest dialed in can take a bit longer. There is no tiller effect; example I ride no handed on all 3 geometries in our garage Q/43deg, S/28deg and V20 and it's the same exact...

See the V20 Build Diary; sub thread "Frog Hack" those are city friendly and highly recommended; much safer than SPD. While it's just my opinion but spring based return to center with active force pedal (SPDs looking at you here) are not great for you knees when you foot is hanging from the...

Which bike you taking?

Oh you should have seen the old store. Your fastest bet is usually to ask here; there are a lot more of us; than CB employees. Pretty much everything is owned by people that are frequent the forums and they can tell both the good and the bad; as well as show photos. Full time staff at CB is...

Just remember you're the one that gave her the fast bike; so she's probably right, and your wallet concurs. :D

Ms Daisy said you have no butt if I recall; so perhaps that's the issue? :emoji_kissing_closed_eyes:

My 7 year old daughter got a tool box for christmas

Ok the box is open; I lose the bet about not opening it before September with Eric. Taking one for the team. 1) My seat pad; looks ok. 1a) no seam quality issues does not look shabby, but 1 factory slip up and it easily could easily look crappy. 1b) The pad is small and skinny 1c) The pad is...

You right pink in Britain; you get flats.... clearly that's the issue.

I really have to open the box in the garage with the red T50 in it and check the seat out; I find myself so short on time I've been avoiding opening that vortex. But I have a box with 5-8 Q series original high quality seat pads in it. If they fit the seat they might solve your problem. Seats...

I did one a week a go on purpose because I was bored at the stop light; car full of kids goes zooming by and kid hangs out window and shouts "Excellent Stoppie - I give you a 9" big grin on his face and a double thumbs up. I laughed so hard I almost fell over.
