Hmm...The laundry list of issues? 1. Self centering cranksets are NOT a design feature. (that took 6 spacers to fix) 2. SRAM X9 rear derailleurs really could stand a redesign. (that took 2, 1mm washers to fix) 3. Bikes really DO need headsets. (RANS said the frameset came with one on their website, but it doesn't) 4. Seat meshes are not just a comfort item, they're essential. (Those were accidentally left out of the frameset box) 6. Double check to make sure you (me) grabbed the right stoker seat off the shop floor. (oops! that was an easy fix actually) 5. Fixie chains and 9spd drivetrains do not mix. 6. Neither do 3 random chains the mech grabbed off the bike shop shelves. (1 was 10spd, 1 9spd, and 1 we have NO idea what it is for) 7. Brake cables need to be the right length. 8. If you're gonna run 203mm rotors, you really do want the 203 Bracket from Avid. (or enough spacers to make it work) 9. Shifter cable housing works better when it isn't mangled on one end. 10. Never assume your killer deal on a great wheelset is assembled with the right parts. (This was the single costliest fix (a new wheel overnighted, and new axle parts to fix the other wheel eventually) 11. Buy LOTS of spare tandem super-long (4445mm) cables. Or just invest in the DaVinci splitters (on order).
