Bike fixed at Sports Chalet
Despite what people might say about having your bike serviced at a major sports shop, I was pleasantly surprised how well my bike performed during the last training ride. The guy at Sports Chalet at Eastridge in San Jose did an excellent job!
Prior to getting it tuned up, thinks were clanking all over the place. Actually, things were clanking like crazy during the last 15-miles of ALC7. Kinda sucked, but nothing was going to stop me from making it to the end, not even a lot of grinding and clanking. Needless to say, it sucked when the last stretch of the ride was uphill into the Veterans Center in Los Angeles. The bike made it 530-miles without a problem and without a tech looking at it. Not bad for a $550 bike.
Anyways, I’m riding again this year during ALC8… same bike… but this time, I’ll be sure to make sure I get the thing regularly looked at.
Unfortunately, I’m missing 2 rides… I’m going to make it up in the next week or so. Maybe a trip down to Gilroy or Fremont.
