Hairy Posted August 9, 2019 Share do you have shares in CD, why always trying to cover up their wrong doing ? Yeah, let me just fill up the groves on my BB shell and go bashing through the mountains waiting for something to go wrong.I sure do have huge shares in the business ... that is why I ride the best of Spaz bikes and have all the new flash kit out there. Do I need to use sarcastic font? Again, I am falling back on previous threads on the hub where a LBS or person get's flamed to kingdom come and when the dust finally settles the story is not always as clear cut as it was in the beginning. Until CD have formally responded with their side of the story I will still reserve judgement and the good old pitchfork will collect dust in the dungeon until it is time to take it out for a good lynch mobbing at midnight (flaming torches are mandatory, but please follow all necessary health and safety laws around carrying a open flame in a public space) DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anything come of it or did it just die down quietly? Hairy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted August 9, 2019 Share Cotton flox, as used for building and repairing composite aircraft:https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cmpages/flockedcotton.php FUD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt I've used this stuff many times to repair damage to wings but mostly in areas where there is a lot of load bearing structure around the repair. it gives you a hard brittel surface that can be sanded and machined. Thats great for filling in the damage to the bb but its not replacing the strenght lost due load carrying fibres being destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasilvarsa Posted August 9, 2019 Share Once you do a repair to a bike frame you cannot ever sell the frame or complete bike without disclosure to the prospective buyer. Something of this value is not worthwhile to fight in court except if the lawyer / (Law Firm) is working for free.

He is also not just doing it for himself, but its on behalf of every consumer out there. We cannot fight a fight like this. Brands think nothing of a single consumer who has an issue.

Hairy Posted August 16, 2019 Share Seriously now mrcg ... can we please see pics of the damaged BB .... dying to see just how bad it is? And who does not like sharing or looking at other peoples bicycles anyway! Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtypot Posted August 16, 2019 Share Seriously now mrcg ... can we please see pics of the damaged BB .... dying to see just how bad it is? And who does not like sharing or looking at other peoples bicycles anyway! It won't take much wear for the crank to begin flopping about. This won't come out well in a picture but you'll certainly be able to feel it. In this case a picture does not tell a thousand words.

Barry Posted August 17, 2019 Share Hi Guys, so i have had two bikes fail with BB ovalization in the past 3 years one Madone 5.2 and one Superfly 29er both failed in same way The quality of bearings we use can also affect performance and i have put these failures down to the bearings.after watching a video sent to me where the bearings used are mentioned i will try attach a video that will give more info on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
