Pull it, and if your wheel falls apart then it was meant to be there.

It looks like some road crap that's got wound round your hub. What's the other end attached to? Is your hub electric or something?!

Its an electric spoke, it's designed to stop motion sickness. It should be trailing along the ground.

Figured as much, but better safe than sorry! Sadly, whatever the other end is attached to it's stuck and it feels like if I pull, it will sooner snap than detach. Might have to get the tools out after all!

nah, but I might have accidentally hit a hipster so that might well me it! Cracks me up thou imagining the headset suddenly being eaten by the hub XD

Thanks all!

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
