I think your Bottom Bracket is dragging on the ground...

yeah The juicys seem to be fine so far. I havent ridden them on anything steep yet, but they should be alright. I am trying to refrain from upgrading it because it would waste all of my profit I made from the demo haha

Well "getting the idea" is an innate biological function of the brain. it involves processing various forms of information through the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and fingers. In this particular case you would use your eyes to closely observe the photograph in an effort to understand the basic characteristics and compnenets of the bicycle. Often times your brain is so well adapt at "getting the idea" that it does so in an almost sub-concious manner that you may not even detect. However, in some individuals (such as yourself), brain function is often significantly cripled by several factors, including slow wit, poor reasoning skills, and a basic lack of common sense. In this instance, it is completely understandable how you may have not "gotten the idea". I hope this clears things up

I ended up spending $1700 on this, so I got an alright deal. just put a 1.5 degree angleset in it and it rides like a champ! glad you are happy with the demo, its a hell of a bike.
