FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like I am fucking out too. Bollocks bollocks bollocks.
My front deralieur has been playing up recently and I got the cable switched and it all adjusted at Brixton cycles Thursday. It was fine for a few miles but on the way home today started playing up again. I have never fiddled with them before so I downloaded the park tool guide and watched a vid on youtube and then had a go - and I seem to have made it much WORSE!!! Much cursing and throwing of tools...
I am gonna take it to the drop-in "clinic" at Brixton Cycles tomorrow at 9am and get it sorted (hopefully). But this means I will miss the start of this ride.
Once I get it sorted I am going to do the ride on my own anyway stay in Sarfend then ride back Sunday. Who knows, I might even bump into you somewhere along the way....
Gutted. Tempted to do the ride on my fixed wheel bike, but I need to get this sorted once and for all as I am doing London to Paris in less than 2 weeks.
Bollocks.
