Consumer Description

2ND GEAR SLIPS. IT HAPPENS EVERYTIME 2ND GEAR IS USED. IT FEELS LIKE THE REAR TIRE JUMPS AND THE BIKE JERKS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT LED UP TO THIS FAILURE THE BIKE WAS STORED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. THE BIKE HAS 14000 MILES AND WAS NEVER RIDDEN HARD. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM YET. THIS ISN'T MY FIRST BIKE AND THIS PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR
