I weigh 280 and dropping so if I buy something for my current weight by the time I end up at my goal the springrate will be all off. If I got the bike a few months ago when I was 320, it'd be a different story.

I won't be doing any aggressive riding or trips other to and from work for a long while so what I have I can make do with. Just need to get that tool and tighten it up a bit.

 

I'm not sure where you're located, but I'm going to be out towards Buckeye (nardini manor) tomorrow afternoon if you want to borrow mine. I've misplaced the handle but you can use a pipe or just crank really hard. I've even used a hammer to loosen it up a bit. Just a thought...

 

Damn, I'll be in Peoria for my Grandpa's birthday from 11a-late. Thanks for the offer.
