What the Heck Happened?!?

[seamus26]

Here's the thing ... this bike has just 2K miles on it and it's already gone through a set of rollers and a set of sliders. Weights, bushings, none of that stuff should have failed this early in the game. There was something wrong from the factory.

They did replace the whole kit under warranty. It feels like a new bike. Like I said before, there is a noise that's been there since the bike was new that's now gone.

That center bushing in the inner pulley - looking at the length from the seat to the keeper grove - should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 30mm long. At best, it's only about 14.5mm with one end being all jagged and broken. A piece of it is wedged into the roller side of the pulley. Lots of pieces are nowhere to be found. I'm guessing that because of the failure of this bushing, the inner pulley was allowed to slop around causing my imbalance and noise and leading to ultimate failure. I'm surprised that it held on as long as it did.

I already have a Dr. Pulley kit ordered. That should be in next week.
