DEFINITLY not to much power on my part!! I was in a hurry as I had broken frame on a Trek so I rushed and put it back together for a cenrtury and added a spacer that I did not need. End result, not enough bite in/on the threads. I think it happened when i swapped the BB and just wasn't paying enough attention. Oh well sh** happens

It's a Roubiax Elite. It's either on 07 or 08. I can't honestly remember.

I'm gonna have to guess when it gets to Texas there MIGHT BE some serious adjustments made

What a gift! It's good to think of one's old bikes still being ridden, feeding someone else's joy.

Sticker shock day today. Last bike I shipped via UPS was 92 bux. I was cool with that. Today, same UPS store, they quoted me 188.00! I get get rate hikes, fuel prices, yada yada yada but I aint' paying UPS that! I going to use http://www.shipbikes.com/home2.html and buy the Air Caddy to ship it in. It'll end up costing me more in the long run but once again customer svc was a FAIL as the guy behind the counter wanted nothing to do with working with me...so SCREW him, his and his bosses loss not mine. I could use an ebike shipper box for like 35 bux or so but it would require taking the entire bike apart.

This is turning into an expensive holiday season way to fast and way to early!
Ho Ho Ho Ho!!!!
