    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    I ordered the derailleur yesterday. Soon as I clicked it I regretted it. Here’s what I was thinking. A few people have reported that their chains keep falling off. We’ve also had reported things like, people putting their cranks not on the opposite of each other but the same way. One guy put...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I did what I said. I stood outside pacing back-and-forth all day long. Bike did not come. I called FedEx the bike came in Friday evening. Said it was loaded on the truck ready for delivery. Problem is they don’t deliver on Saturdays or Sundays so I figured with the label screw up, I missed it...

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    This helps out a lot. Thank you so, so, so much! He did say that the Deore is 10 speed and that’s not compatible. you did such a good job explaining everything, you hit on all the issues. Some people can say a bunch of stuff but not really answer the question. Thank you so much. I really like...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    Well I can’t believe it. I just woke up I came out here very excitedly to look and see how much closer my bike is. Says it’s here in my town and it’s on the truck for delivery. For all the people on the Facebook forum that keeps cutting down FedEx for stuff that’s not their fault I think they...

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    I wish I could understand this. We have a person who put that Derailleur on a 700. We have professional bike races in my town each year. The bikes go right by my apartment. The people that own shops in my town put the races on. They are very much experts and every person I talk to today says it...

    I got mixed up with this thread and your one about the derailleur. I just found out I lost two full days from the label problem. Yesterday and all day today it sat and was shipped out tonight.

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    Good job! I thought that was the right one but got caught up in my bike being delivered, not being delivered, being delivered. The reason why I think it is the derailleur and not an adjustment is because the stock Derailleur has weak springs in it. Also a big key factor is even if the chain...

    How did you figure out the derailleur? I found so many variables I’m stuck. How long the derailleur is matters, whether it’s for a direct connect or our bike with a hanger matters, the indexing matters, and whether the cable attaches straight or at an angle matters. There’s even one more thing...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I just got back from FedEx. I got everything figured out and my bike journey is continuing. I think I should apologize for what I did. When I ordered my bike I took pride that I had patients. With the world upside down with Covid, with riots, fires, hurricanes, with all kinds of unrest, I’ll...

    Man I sure was hoping It could get in early. Wonder if this means it won’t even be here Monday cause I just lost a day. I guess I could look at it positively. I didn’t want it to get into my city like on a Saturday afternoon and have it sit right here in my city but I can’t get to it until...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    I can’t believe it. I woke up this morning to see how much farther my bike got and I have big red exclamation points on my tracking. It seems that my bike is stuck now because they say the label is unreadable. I am hoping that that does not mean that the package is damaged but the label is...

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    Well I’ve never had such good news be so disappointing. They shipped my bike this morning is almost here already. From morning till evening it made it 3/4 of the way here. Looks like it’ll probably get to my city tomorrow and then sitting in the warehouse for the weekend.

    How many here are waiting for Sep 15 ship dates?

    OK, someone said for me to keep them posted of what happened so I wanted to answer them. It was dropped off this morning and now finally the bike is on its way. My estimated arrival will be Monday. So that will be five days. Funny, I was dreading having the bike get to my city Friday or...

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    Not only that, but many 500 & 700 users are reporting that their chain falls off the front sprocket. I attribute that to a inexpensive Derailleur on the back that doesn’t keep the chain tight enough. One of my first modifications I was thinking to get a Deore derailleur. I found some super...

I was told that you get your first notice that your bike order has been complete, That was ride1up had transferred your bike to FedEx. Once FedEx...

    Wish someone would do an indepth review on the 700

    The last time I was up there was about two years a go (you need a pass that I don't have but my friend does so I have to rely on him), going by memory I think it may only be 15ft, I can't remember for sure. The ride1up will do it easy without breaking anything. No problem. I took my 750cc 4...

    R1UP waterproofed wiring/connections on 700?

    Rad people ride the radbikes in Seattle-rain (Seattle rain is purple clouds pouring for days) ride through rim high puddles with no problems. I thought all bikes could. R1up was the first time I heard you couldn't . Chris.

    Wish someone would do an indepth review on the 700

    I have a very good, in depth one planned but haven't got the bike yet. I was going to jump the bike off a 6 foot high, mound of dirt jump and clear a ditch 25 across ("Chris Knievel"). Doing that 3 times, first with throttle, second with PAS, thrid with PAS on 0 and peddling on my own to show...
