Try again. Bike barely been ridden for 18 months. Cable sloppy-loose (easily fixed), but need to kick the mech to change to smaller chainring (suspect something sinister involving springs).

Apply wd40 and adjust the cable then use excessively lube a little more and happy days. #CoachGobi |

Then once fixed conclude that the bike is intrinsically unreliable now and whilst ok to keep as a reserve you need a new one.

Afternoon all I mainly lurk as I have only done a couple of wee duathlon at which I was dead last (someone has to be) and won’t get to try a tri till next year now I reckon. Just wondering if any of you have done any HR based training on the turbo? I am a short arse with short legs and struggle to maintain a high cadence and have done a couple of HR based sessions on my dumb turbo. Didn’t seem to be busting a gut but plenty sweaty. Wondering if I should seek out some more. Only allowed 2 exercise sessions up here so running (or attempting to) takes priority. |

If I replace the hardtail (which is currently swimming in WD40 in the front mech region) it will be with something deeply unsporty. Possibly one of these: ridgeback.co.uk |
