So I've been to the various LBS(s) recently trying to round up all the parts I need to bring my bike back to life after the beating it took in last week's race at Falcon Lake. I hear that a lot of folks have had serious breakdown issues... lots of trips to the LBS, anyone care to share their damage inventory?
Here's Mine.
-seized bottom bracket. Looked for new bearings, ended up replacing.
-disk brake pads (front). Worn down to the calipers. Replaced.
-seized rear hub. Disassembled. Looked for new bearings. They are on order.
-seized chain tensioner bearings. Replaced.
-sad and unhappy Eggbeater SL's. Disassembled, removed corrosion, reassembled.
A good amount of work, but I'm a better bike mechanic because of it!

I am going to look at the bike today. Is that too late? I think the bb is trashed... I will just grind it out anyway... stem is gonna have to go :(... eggs will be corroded of course because they suck and I will ride them until the break then go to 11s or XTR... headset? I will take a look when I put a different stem on. Wish me luck... more rain for BFA

BB relaced and bent dropout,so far.
Washed my bike at the car wash, set me back about 2 bux.
Nice RK. Actually, although my bike cost me already about $120 this week.. i did at least wash it for FREE. HA! There!
I replaced the stem, bar, and some bolts but ass for the bb i said "this is ridiculous... Fu** it". I will just ride it until the balls rust out. It sound pretty bad right now so it will not be long.
