I have a 32 year old Bianchi that I’m having updated gradually because I love it and I want to keep it. I go from stationary at a red light and the gears skip. I stand on the pedals, the gears skip. I play around with the gears until it’s on a speed I can tolerate, and 10mins in it shifts randomly. I can’t get it to stay on any kind of high gear whatsoever. I’m so frustrated.

I brought the bike into a local shop that I trust implicitly. They changed the crank and the chain wheel because they couldn’t see anything wrong with the gears. This actually made it worse lol.

I’m going to bring it back, does anyone have any ideas of how to describe this to the repairs people in a way that they’ll get what I’m saying? I explained this all the first time around and nothing was fixed.

This was a free dryer. I am NOT complaining I’m purely curious. This thing is brand new never used but was dropped like 5 times in its lifetime including when it was delivered. It seems to work just fine, but has some cosmetic damage and the top won’t stay closed. Meaning, I can lift it up with my finger and see the drum inside, it just sits closed.

If it was done for, it wouldn’t be working right now right? How durable are these things? Was this worth it or am I looking at a dryer that’s gonna die on me in a month?
