my urban bike is junk, a Magna - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

Man, I got this temporary bike, it's junk, the chain links literally
due to the cold snapped in half, not the link part, but the actual
metal link leafs snapped in half, due to the cold. 3 times it happened,
I replaced the links with other SRAM leafs and links, and they broke
off the Magna links.

I finally went to antoher junker bike I had locked up and took its
chain off and replaced the magna chain.

I never saw leafs of a chain snap in half due to cold. Crazy.

Don't buy Magna and expect reliability. I got this bike at the goodwill
for $5.00. The bottom bracket is shot too.

Translation: "I went to a hard working bike messenger's rig and stole
his good chain".

Please don't respond to him. And
watch the crossposts, too. Tom

all you need is a basket & horn. You could still deliver the evening
papers too... a fine workhorse. Not quite Magna grade.

my point is that telling
people not to respond to a

self-defeating venture.
