New England B.S. Thread

My front left wheel bearing just let go. Quiet one second, then grinding and vibrations. Limped it to my driveway to affirm that's what it was... and it was, wheel's looser than a Persian prostitute. 60,000mi isn't too bad considering. Just sucks it happened the last week of classes...

 

Well that sucks but at least it didnt let go on the trails or on a road trip

 

Surprise!

 

Gotta love the keystone cops stuff

 

Cam if you need help and a place to do it let me know

 

Or we can use this one; it's a little more recent.

 

Do you have a spare? I have a spare assembled I could sell you for a $175. I could even drop it off tonight.
It is from the PreMade Wheel bearing thread...

That's really surprising it didn't give you any warning. Are you running really loud tires that might have masked it?

Would have really sucked if it had let go on you up in Bangor...

 

this is true!

Hahha! I love buster Keaton!

I'll be in contact with you. Thanks for the offer billy!

I might have to take you up in that. Pm inbound with my number

My mts are fairly noisy, but you could hear it grinding away over their hum. It's probably been bad for some time, but I hadn't noticed, and it finally let go. It definitely would have been fun had it happened up in Bangor!

 

im from Glastonbury, and there are a few of us ct people here, we need more!!

 

Morning

 

Indeed it is.

 

It nasty and drizzling to there?

 

Nope. It was kind of misting early this AM when I got up, but it had stopped by 5:30 or so, and it's supposed to be sunny and in the 50's by this afternoon. I rode the 'Zuki in today, so it had better get sunny!

Crappy weather in Freeport today?

 

I'm down in Rhode island this week for a project I've got that's just starting up construction down here. But pretty dreary down here

 

Try living here.

Yup. Unless you're someone who loves Newport, there's nothing great about RI. It's the Ocean State (at low tide).

 

I dunno. South County is kinda nice, too.

Most of the rest of the state does not provide even that much of a distraction to take your mind off the wad of green you keep tossing onto the state's tax bonfire.

 

I rode through it on a motorcycle about 11 years ago; it seemed like a nice enough coastline, but I was only in the state for a few hours on a nice sunny summer day.
