    Yeah, I know, it all makes sense now, but if you buy one of these "special tools" the first time and look at the instructions and attachments, there is supposedly one that is supposed to push a pin through. For a bicycle chain, maybe.

    Anyhow, I put it together the first time like they said, and quickly determined "this ain't gonna work".

    It's the snaking around things to accomplish a task that causes entanglement (and hired personnel that don't roll up properly). :D

    ME too, I swear - setting up a front or rear derailleur is a black art. So simple, just a few adjustment screws to use, but seems like you have to hop on one leg, turn counter clockwise 3 times and recite the alphabet backwards to get it to dial in and not rub or skip or miss any gears. But when you nail it, the sweet sound of a properly tuned drivetrain is amazing.

    I figured as much. Ran into a similar problem running the wires for the taillights to flat tow the Suburban (basically like running a trailer light harness), damn wire kept catching the lugs on the tires no matter how I laid it out before pulling it even starting with it a couple feet away... :crackup:
