I will do, right now I lack the will.
So many things wrong with the damn thing- mudguard fettling is right down the list.
Rear wheel- if you take it out of the frame, hold the axle and try to spin it by hooking a finger round a spoke and pulling it doesn't rotate.
If you spin it up in the frame then it stops rapidly with a rubber squeaking noise.
I reckon a seal is trapped somewhere, need to take the hub apart to look at that.
Then there are the cranks, and the amazing chain removing ability via backpedal.
Blah blah blah.
ONE DAY IT WILL FUCKING WORK.
Just not today.
