went outside to take another look at the bike and low and behold the DAMN chrome rear wheel is scratched to hell. i called them up and layed into them. they offered to rechrome the wheel and put my stock blue one on until its ready. i told them i would call them back to let them know. im about to have an panic attack or something. i just dont feel safe on my bike anymore

Launch that f**king bike through their store window!

I am serious bro, bring it up to me and we will go over the bike. We can do this and I will do it free of charge! I hate when one person in a shop F's someone's bike up!!

im serious to man. let me know a day you can do it and ill truck the bike up to you. hell ill still throw you some money if you get me and the bike back on the road. what should i do about the rear wheel? should i wait for them to rechrome the rear or should i buy another set of chrome wheels and sell the ****ed up chrome ones and blue ones i have to hopefully make up for the cost of a new set of chrome wheels. if you have AIM or Yahoo we can talk alot more about it. you could be my savior man, JC himself

take a picture of the wheel and the damage for me, then we will decide from there. In all honesty I wouldn't take crap back to them. Breeze and Blazer are going to be here on July 5th but we can get to it sooner. Like ah tomorrow or sometime during the week.

[mreedohio]

ill go get a pic right now, i can do the 5th,ill hit you up on AIM to go over exactly what needs done.

those sctratches conitune all the way around the wheel on the right side where the disc and caliper are.

[loudnlow7484]

It's hard to tell, is that the chrome flaking off of it?

[The CyberPoet]

Certainly looks like it is to me -- like the prep-work on the wheel itself (stripping off the oils, contaminants in an acid-bath) wasn't done before the chrome plate was applied. Spacing seems about the same as a human-hand (palm, fingers, thumb).

not to mention thin, real thin for a wheel!

[arsenic]

in all honesty, I wouldn't have them re chrome it. I'd sue the balls off that BS shop and have it re chromed somewhere good. That may take some time though.

[sassyduck]

Yeah, I would write them a letter send it certified and tell them you want it fixed somewhere else at their expense...or you will sue them to have it fixed, and for extra because they put your life at risk.

[mreedohio]

i sent an email to a lawyer Eric Deters hopefully he reply that its a good case. ill call around to a few others and see.

[mreedohio]

i got the caliper back on and tried to ride today but low and behold more problems, they didnt put the rear wheel on right. it keeps making this clicking sound real bad when the wheels are moving more then a few mph. im having a nervous breakdown at the moment.

i had my wife ride behind me and she said it looks like the wheel is wobbling.

[arsenic]

that explains why it's scratched
