  • Me...
    *midweek I organised a training ride for early sat morning.
    *Friday lunchtime I remember that the indexing on my training bike is waaay out. I've no time to fiddle with it myself so I rush it to the lbs who promise to sort it... Great stuff!
    *Friday evening get home from quiet pint and check bike over... Indexing still fucked.
    *2300 spend hours trying and failing to fix indexing.
    *0115 eventual success... reassemble bike and have quick test ride on turbo
    *0130 shift from small chainring to large... CLUNK... Chain snaps and gets wedged in derailleur.
    *FUCKSHITARSE... Chaintool is at my parent's.
    *0145 move mudguards/bottle cages/SPD pedals etc to fixed gear beater... Pump tyres ready to ride tomorrow.
    *0215 bitch on Lfgss

    I love tinkering with my bikes (the main reason instarted reading this forum) but I'm evidently not a born mechanic. Normally i figure its good to learn from my mistakes but tomorrow the only thing i'm going to learn is how painfull 100km of corswold hills are with only 1 gear.

    Balls.
