so ok.
I went fixed and was really loving it. climbing was a bit harder but once i got the knack it was quite fun and not only that i left them all for dead. Descending is still a talent that is being cultivated...
now on thursdays club ride. I had my first puncture. Well infact four punctures all in the back wheel. The result of all this is that the bolts supplied with this paddywagon are REALLY soft and even though i was using box spanners they started to get rounded off. Ive had to file them...
Not only that but i cant seem to refit the wheel with the same tension in the chain. no matter what i try after ive tighten up the nuts, the chain is slack...help. i take it there is a trick to it....
cheers
