You had me at...I'm in love
My girlfriend is very athletic.
i don't know, man. that sounds like a warranty issue.hthe two right grips you and Dustin put on my ride

yep, she's a keeperShe is a trooper. Bit on this down hill section today. I'm yelling back to her, "last hill for a mile." I don't hear anything. No chain bouncing around...silence. I wait...turned around...and about 30 meters back she was sprawled out. Her chain slipped off. Left leg went through the frame and she ate @#$% good. Elbow, knees and left hip. She finised the ride again.
I'm going to start following her with my helmet cam
If your derailluer says Shimano, that's your problem.Hey bro. I keep getting this freaking ghost shifting in 8 & 9 cogs. I could bearly ride it on the trails the first run. Pretty much single speed when the rear suspension was being activated. We loosened the tension it work better. Cable housing looks kind of short? The chain is folded over on itself on the rear derailleur. It just can't handle much tension in those gears (16/18)?
Pretty confident that the housing length is fine. It's cut the same as mine and mine's working well. Reactor, the routing is pretty much exactly the same as Motolite routing. the big loop you see is for the front derailleur. The piece for the rear has a slight curvature. I do this mainly for the following reason; as the housing compresses, rather than having to deal with crap shifting (exposed strands of steel), the ends can be trimmed giving a solid piece of housing for the ferrule to butt up against. 5mm max trimmed...not enough to create shifting issues before or after.Hey bro.

I'm was just guessing, and from the picture, it looks like there is too much cable running between the rear triangle and the frame. But it's a picture and it's hard to be sure. The ghost shifting problem could be as simple as some cable caps that weren't completely seated and seated after the bike was shifted a few times. That would cause the cable to loosen up. The limit screw is a strong possibility also. If I could touch the bike I (and I bet you too) could figure it out in about two minutes.Pretty confident that the housing length is fine.

Anywho, ghost shifting in 8 and 9...first thing I would check would be low limit screw. I got pulled off the bike a lot to help customers. I might've missed that adjustment. Excuses...I know. Seeing that loosening cable tension improved shifting is kind of interesting. That tells me that perhaps there's some contamination in the housing. Or...I'm wondering if maybe the was some housing compression and loosening the housing dropped the cable tension enough to pretty much make your drivetrain an 8sp drivetrain, such that the first shift, rather than pull the derailleur, just took up the slack in the line. I can't remember...do you have a rapid rise rear derailleur or not?
Ordered my girlfriend a Womens Stumpy last week. Can't wait to get her out on the trail....
It's on the corner of 35th and Ave M in Temple. Let me know and I'll PM directions. Or call me.<snip>Loco, where's your shop at? I'm going to Austin in a few weeks for a mini-riding vacation. I've always wanted to stop and pee on your toilet seat.
Your housing looks a lot like mine, mine is just a tiny bit shorter. It also occurs to me that someone might not have put the right spacers in the bottom bracket, so the chainline could be out of whack, but that's a long-shot if it's anyone who's built a bike before, and it would be bad all the time not just when the suspension moves.a picture of my housing, just for kicks...

The crankset is definitely correct. as you can see in this picture, the cups are integrated into the frame, so no spacers required.

of course, that doesn't rule out frame alignment, but i don't think that is an issue.
