I decided the correct thing to do was to do this ride fixed. But it's not going to happen now. I have just spent 2 hours trying to switch my Condor from track mode to road mode...
To cut a long story short I have managed to fuck up the thread on my (Miche) hub swapping sprockets... The lock ring is now just turning (the other side of the hub is already fucked). I also managed to fuck up a link in my chain using a shit old chain breaker with a loose pin. AHHHHHH!!! Also, my 19 tooth sprocket no longer fits a brand new chain (or the chain whip).
I am fucked off.
Shopping list
Park tools CT-7 chain breaker
New hub
Stress toy
Punch bag
Thinking about having 2 sets of rear wheels/chains for road/track so I don't have to fuck about with this shit...
So gears it is. I wish I had just left my bike alone. I will be paying a visit to BC on Monday.
See you in the morning kids! 06:55 at the Half Moon south riders.
Big love x
