You can’t sue for that in the US

but you CAN be bitter forever and constantly talk shit about other builders who you felt have wronged you, which is every framebuilder’s favorite pastime.

Specialized is just in there to protect their Stump Jumper trademark. Trump is too close to Stump.

is this freewheel in hub jail forever, or is there a way to remove it after you unlace?

didn’t I send you the spline tool with that ONE hub?

Attach hub to old rotor, attach old rotor to workbench or vise, and remove freewheel?

If its super stuck on there I’d be hesitant to really wrench on it but it might be OK.

for good leverage, don’t use a rotor, use a bit of steel with 3 or more mounting bolts to put more leverage on the hub. (think making a chainwhip style device, but with bolt holes instead of a length of chain)

I thought that was part of the whole landlords experience

You obviously didn’t read the first post

I’s prob just put the disc side in a vise with a rag and remove per usual :man_shrugging:

I feel very out of the loop, why are there so many monster cross / drop bar mtbs / atb’s dropping this year?

i dont know but all of them are just mountain bike geometry from the 2010s with short stubby stems. its quite possibly the laziest push for something “new” ive seen in a hot minute.

We aging riders still think of “cross-country” as skinny dudes in spandex on skittish bikes, and would never want to be so uncool, but also are getting too old to huck drops, so behold! this new exciting category to purchase our way to the new hipness.
