    Good luck Mikie, I don't order a lot of stuff since I am a mtn rider minimalist. But I just did an order with Jenson, my first. They supplied the new light that I almost rode off the trail with. You are right there in the tranist hub of Cali, I hope you end up with a big sucking warehouse in Grapevine, or better yet one in Beaver so I skip sales tax. I will be checking you out on my next order of 29 slime tubes (after the next flat, which I never flat often. Then I will order some new Formula pads, and Finish Line too). Me, I think Amazon sucks as Bezos is rich enough with 1,000,000,000,000.oo dollars and gaining.
    Happily ignoring the Amazon sales banner on your site below my typing trails

    Actually, you can order without signing up. I know counting up to 12 is difficult for some among us... :whistling: But just so you know, I am working on a shorter password process...;)

    Make you a deal. I'll work the password thingy if you can figure out why the jackwads at UPS stated a Friday delivery and then a 6:30 pm notified it was rescheduled for Monday. :mad:
    I emailed customer service who has yet to respond and I told them, "Don't you realize that UPSed is a PERSONAL friend of mine?!?!?!?"

    Thanks and tis the season. We have been rolling packages all week long. We had to work today just to try and catch up. UPS drops the ball every year at peak.

    Does this mean that the promised date of the 12/8/17 will not be met (for something that entered the pipeline in Nashville on 12/2?

    And a PSA for all....I've apparently been the victim of Porch Pirates, of a $50 bottom bracket via USPS. Between now and Xmas you probably don't want stuff dropped off on your porch.

    I hope whoever swiped it can put it to good use. :confused:

    My next shipment is going to my place of employment during business hours.

    Ed,
    I just uploaded some software. It should have lowered the 12 to 8 and I reduced the password strength to "Weak Ass" <joking...
    Let me knw if it works the next time you try it.

    Good on ya! Just FYI your imtbgear isn't anywhere to be found on my mobile device when on imtbtrails
    Although Amazon, Jenson, Backcountry and another one ( something cyclist) is.

    If I see it I'll check it out.

    Have you tried looking at the screen when the phone is horizontal?
    Link is next to “Trails” just above “New Posts”

    Thanks.
    Didn't notice that. Was only looking for ads.
    Phone only goes horizontal when watching vids and taking pics though.

    Is there any way to highlight it? Even when I turned my phone horizontal and knew where to look it was still hard to see.

    Wait, did this happen in the future or in the past?

    I just received my TW order so I’ll check out your pyramid scheme when it’s time to reorder. ;)

    I made it bolder just a bit.

    Also I spent hours searching for a way to shorten the password. No such luck, but I did significantly reduce the password strength. See if that works for you. Write your passwords down and place them in a Rolodex! ;)

    Or they can do what I do. Use a password keeper and only need to remember one password ( my one pW is 10 characters) . They are all auto filled when you want. And it will create one for you too. Of course they are really some random never rememberable jumble of characters.

    Android and apple version work phenomenally. Windows version.... Not as good IMO. ( Have all 3 )

    Yeah... It's the only thing I had to make bolder on imtbtrails. Everything else just came naturally...:oops:

    Mikie, best of luck truly. If I need something I will try here first. As a self employed guy since 82, and a backyard inventor and numerous attempts at stuff. One thing that sticks in my mind is how (NOT THIS CLOSE KNIT GROUP) mankind in general, especially mtn bikers can be critical, hard to please, even berating. For instance at the bottom of this page is a race-face chain ring. It's beautiful blingy and 50.oo. I tried that market and made 30&31-T. 104 bcd rings when only one guy out there made them. My point is try not get discouraged because man o man o man these people out there in cyberworld will nitpick any weakness. Without guys like us giving it a shot the world would be boring. Win the market dude.ring.jpg

    PS. their is one last 31-t ring left. Not narrow-wide, not wolftooth, The idea was very strong to negate a bash guard. Free, cost of shipping.

    Yah know? I can totally relate to that. Customers are getting harder and harder to please. From past experience, I found it near impossible to make all the customers happy all the time. I know this is going to start out rocky. I have sold my own products before but never other manufacturers stuff. The balance of figuring out how much product to have in stock (inventory) vs. keeping liquidated financially is a science plus an art. I'm just hoping that folks will be kind as I get my act together. Lord knows I always give my very best! Thanks for the encouragement!:thumbsup:

    I need to deliver a program critical part, the vendor wants to ship on the 23rd, I told them to wait a week since it is the worst time to ship something and packages fly this time of year.
