Mountain Biking, man you guys are missing out! Where else can you break your derailler hanger exactly 30meters from exact farthest point from the start of a 4 hour ride with over 1,500 ft of vertical climbing back home, some exceeding 20% grade… Smoked my legs pushing, tried singlespeeding it but that didn’t work, ended slamming the seat and “flinstoning it” running the bike along as much as I could. And then I got to drop $200+ on a new Derailler, cassette and chain, man am I lucky!
Anyways, Litespeed is mailing out two hangers today, a replacement and a spare. Great service! Gotta give them thanks. Anyone looking for an awesome Xterra bike the Niota is a sweet bike. I was just thinking, wow my mtn bike frame weighs as much as THREE of the new Ghisallos…
