Spank bars and 70mm Thomson stem please
Also if no one needs the 35.0 stem bar setup I'm using it for the Scott voltage

Oh... one more thing on the RDO
The RD hanger is loose. The bolt is in all the way but the hanger sits loose. If the wheel are on, they seem fine but without the wheel its kinda dangling.
Is this normal? I am thinking the bolt didn't go in correctly and maybe cross threaded?

Your bike seems fishy I'd be looking at a replacement, you don't spend all that money for a new bike with new problems

Regarding the finish.... I am going to see if they will give me some discount.
The hanger... if anything it's cross threaded. Have them send me another or something.

The bolt has an unthreaded part of the shaft? and it is bottoming the threads?
sounds like the bolt was not made to specs.

That not a painted frame. Not unusual for that carbon finish..... think of it as natural splotches in granite.

Got a reply from backcountry and they said the same and all the bikes he has with the same finish exhibit the same "blemish"
Also looked it up online and it appears to be normal for this type of finish. Damn... was hoping for some additional discounts or freebees lol

Also asked about the dangling RD hanger. I cant imagine this being normal as well tho. But then again... I am 0 for 1 so far.... :rolleyes:

My salsa carbon Beargrease was the same.... never had a single issue with it. I think it’s like a self leveling type of thing.
