The problems I had with the hubs/spokes/wheels was caused by improper alignment by the folks I bought it from. It caused excessive g forces on all components of the wheels. once kevin at scrambler cycle set it up correctly I only get a 1 or 2 loose spokes every 1000-1500km (normal) instead of 6-15 in 200-300km. thinking of plan for off warranty, but now the extended warranty looks REALLY nice :) <br /><br />thanks me too!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-73256801547519574962011-03-26T12:15:20.917-05:002011-03-26T12:15:20.917-05:00Dear Chris:

That has to give you pause to think about other cast parts as well. It wasn't that long ago that you were in for a problem with the laced wheels. What are you going to do when this comes off warranty?<br /><br />I hope the parts come quickly too.<br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • Reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-68037341560144797422011-03-24T22:13:25.127-05:002011-03-24T22:13:25.127-05:00RichardM: Nope, not a known weak point.

In the mean time, my wife has graciously volunteered to take me to work until I can get back out on two wheels (hopefully after this weekend). <br /><br /><b>Dom:</b> It doesn't look good. Hopefully Ural will just replace the whole unit. yes, indeed for the warranty. the extended warranty is looking like a better deal now.<br /><br /><b>Bob:</b> Thanks, me too. <br /><br /><b>Sharon:</b> thanks! I'm usually the one who is impressed with your photos. The first was all in camera, but the other two needed a bit of help in picnik :) Hopefully, Kevin will take some too when he opens it up to see what else died.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-79581826263646368092011-03-24T06:17:11.104-05:002011-03-24T06:17:11.104-05:00Thank goodness for that warranty!
