Remember this post from last week…a slight mechanical failure. Well I dropped my bike of at the LMS (local maintenance shop; they don’t sell them just fix them) and explained the problem;
“Won’t shift properly, throws the chain at the front, won’t freewheel backwards,maybe been knocked over by the kids?”
The mech puts it in stand and tinkers a bit…“rear derailleur looks ok and chain is dirty but ok…we’ll double check everything though”, then he goes to to take it down and says “oh this could be it” and shows me the crankset…
Three bolts missing and the remaining two loose! Hmm now I am no grease monkey but I think that could have something to do with it! Anyway I will pick it up at the weekend, it’s really put me in a frame of mind to get the new one purchased, there are a couple in the running…any cyclists out there (Robyn, Groover and Zanne I am looking at you) input needed, not for racing but comfortable long rides.
