Yikes! Now I don't feel so bad knowing I'm not the only one. As for the Quaife, I'd love too, but money was tight BEFORE this happened, and now I just kissed next year's tax refund good-bye. Oy! No idea how I'm gonna replace the tires, which I will need before too much longer.
As for the service manager, I had it towed to the dealership that sponsored the event. I'm confident these guys are going to treat me right as I talked with many of them at the event while waiting for the tow truck to show up. They went out of their way to help me out while I was there.
No extended warranty, so I'm definitely not covered. Another lesson learned.
In the meantime, I'm going back to mountain biking. At least when I break something doing that (and I will), it will either be cheap or covered by health insurance.
