For those interested in Mountain Bikes: My new baby
alaric:
2 or 3 occasions of chainsuck - i'd noticed a bit of scarring on the chainstay previously, but not really worried about it, then a couple of months ago, we'd had a bit of rain, which meant we were riding in some pretty dire mud. We got through 5 set of brake pads on 6 bikes, and 3 of us had problems with chain suck.
When I got the bike home and cleaned up, I found that hole in the frame - not happy - the bike's less than 18 months old!

That's bad :shock:
My old Pace Research had a occurance of chain-suck, but during factory renovations (bottom-bracket milled out for new bearings & a differing cable run), it was fitted with one of AdrianCarters (business co-owner)chain-suck plates.
No problems until the day I sold it then, despite racing, exploring & being used as a second bike for Cyclo-Cross.
A friend used to have a Yeti 'FRO' & despite the bomb-proof nature (& clearances) of that bike he suffered as well

Erm...............
I don't see brakes mentioned in that list???
So I hope you don't ride it on public roads, & of course, you're too responsible to ride it on the pavement?? :wink:
