Seems like a day of mechanicals. Despite not going out today, I though that it was high time I cleaned the bike from Porkers. I don't know how many km I rode with the chain the way it was, but it was well past its use by date. Chain not sitting on either the chainring or sprocket properly at all. New sprocket and chain today, brake blocks in saddle bag. Impatient anticipation for Brimstone next week. Can't wait.
Newish patch sewn on DIY saddle bag now too. Hopefully by summers end I'll get a Wessex SR and 100 to sit beside it
@7ven - you missed out on a nice route. It would have been glorious from Forest Row through Brighton and onto Balcombe today. Warm, but glorious. Where did you start? Green St Green? The climb up to Brasted then down and up Chart to Emmetts lane is a nice steady start to give an idea of whays to come I think #derailleurneindanke
