I have been going through something...Fuck Shimano. I have been going through something similar with a Nexus 7. The BIGGEST PIECE of SHIT I've ever encountered. This thing just wasted four hours of my precious time, but I don't even care about that. It's been a CONSTANT FUCKING STRUGGLE for over six fucking years. In that time, I've managed to waste over $700 fucking dollars, and I've only been able to log about a total of 45 miles on this PIECE OF SHIT. I won't bore you with the details, but I just spent more money on this faggoty hub (broken shifter, so I bought a new one) and what should have been a two minute adjustment, turned into this fucking ass fuck disintegrating in my hands. FUCK YOU SHIMANO- I will NEVER buy anything with your name on it - I will NEVER ride with even one of your fucking shit parts on my bike, EVER. FUCK YOU IN YOUR stupid faggot ass drive train hole. FUCK YOU. I HATE you. So much. FUCK.

I hate Shimano and their shitty customer service. It made me switch to SRAM & it just so happens I like the parts better as well. I’d say when the warm weather hits, locktite all that shit together and take the new “Shimano Centerlock Specific” Tomicog with you for when shit hits the fan. FUCK trying to repair that in the field on a multi day trip. Oh and this years model will be obsolete next year and sourcing parts will be “obtainable” for 2-3 years.<br /><br />But Ski season is on the horizon.Metrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06759684328729110522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259027838023890176.post-65141587761010207772009-09-30T21:18:47.453-05:002009-09-30T21:18:47.453-05:00So this means #5 from your "This one goes to ...So this means #5 from your "This one goes to 11" post is now simply "check."Skippynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7259027838023890176.post-69636874260982719792009-09-30T20:47:32.698-05:002009-09-30T20:47:32.698-05:00I often have to call Shimano regarding various cra...I often have to call Shimano regarding various crap.
