I made it 55km into the Meridian Hills route before rear shifter cable snapped coming up the hill into Crowborough. Shifting on the Planet X hadn't been great for a few weeks which I guess in hindsight, was a frayed cable in shifter. I knew the right thing to do for TCR training would be to go in the opposite direction to Tonbridge to the only open bike shop on a Sunday but somehow, I didn't have it in me and am sitting on the train home Fuuuuu as I was feeling good. Going to take it to Seabass to fix, sit in the sun, have beer, profit.
So, I guess I need to ask, does anyone ever carry a spare cable!?! Assume not.
