Lucent Liked a comment about product review Long-Term Review - Fezzari La Sal Peak
6/17/2022 9:46pm
As an owner of two Fezzari bikes (Delano and now their Empire SL), this bike is super tempting for those shuttle runs, park days, or anytime I want a bit extra travel. Been overly delighted with how my Delano climbs and descends, and can echo the sentiment that I IMMEDIATELY felt super comfortable on this bike from the get-go.

So are racist opinions justifiable because their opinions? Sorry bud but I don’t think we need to create a safe space for racists to be assholes. Racists posts using the n-word is not ok on any form of media. No normal person wants to read that. And unfortunately quite a lot of people are genuinely hurt by it. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean the public has to allow you to broadcast your opinions or that their aren’t consequences to what you choose to say. Just something to think about. Gonna drop it here.

7/15/2021 1:08pm I'm thinking of a future where Vital comments have a lot more posts. I hear ya on the mob/popularity downside. Maybe just leave the comments as-is, and figure out pain points when/if the number of comments increases significantly.

7/15/2021 12:52pm Sorry, I was confusing the forums with the comments, so correcting my wish list for comments: - layout is already reasonably compact - deep threading is all set, if there's 4-5 levels - collapsing threads would be nice, but not really necessary until there are a *lot* of comments - single page is already the case that leaves these two...

7/15/2021 10:43am Here are some of my wish list items: - compact layout - deep threading - ability to collapse threads - single page (either load all, load on scroll, or "view" more that then populates on-page) - upvote/downvote count affects sort order - indication of new comments since last visit

6/13/2018 8:50am @kwapik I did, and they're sending out new seatstays. With this overall support experience, I just *really* hope nothing else goes wrong with this bike. If it does, I'll know to get on the phone early and often (if necessary), rather than rely on their support ticket system.

6/12/2018 3:03pm An update... I was able to reach YT by phone today. They've apologized for the lack of communication and are sending out new seatstays. Hopefully this whole support scenario was an anomaly.

6/12/2018 8:27am That's what I believe, as it's by far not the first time I've pulled linkages apart. It isn't the bolt that is damaged, it's the threads on the blind insert in the carbon frame. I have a friend who is a machinist at a bike fixture manufacturing company who looked at it (cleaned up the threads and hand threaded a...

6/12/2018 7:58am I was trying to hunt down a creak and read on another Jeffsy thread that the pivots have been pretty dry upon receipt for some buyers. I was removing the bolt where the rear of the rocker link attaches to the seat stay, and it became more difficult as I was backing it out. Once out, I could see the...

6/12/2018 7:46am I wish the YT support scenario you describe was my experience. At this point, I'm starting to wonder if they're still in business. Since they've gone dark on my support ticket (no response since May 23, despite me sending multiple reminders), I'm going to try other methods of contact now, to see if I can reach someone who can help...

6/11/2018 10:33am Warranty access is huge. I purchased a Jeffsy 27 earlier this year. I submitted a warranty request nearly a month ago, and I'm still waiting on some kind of resolution from YT. Communication has been so lacking that I recently requested to return the bike for a refund. I wish I had a Smuggler about now.
