  • I suspect that your drive chain needs a check over. Pedals tight on the bb, rear dérailleur working as it should. It's been windy enough down in London for a gust of wind from behind to give a feeling of 'slack' to pedalling.

    I'm feeling a bit slack too. I went out for a coffee with a mate and her boy this morning, had a haircut, and did some shopping for supper. Then came home and had a packet of prawn crisps and a beer for lunch. Still sitting on the sofa 4 hours later, having read up a bit of Family Law in a Sundayish way.

    <<slacker.

    Time for a new chain?

  • cheers lads.

    got another chain in the garage so il swap them over hopefully that will fix it!

  • Talking of ss Konas, I want a Humu!

  • right so changed my chain and all is good.
    but i have just flipped my wheel so im fixed from singlespeed and i have just tried a skid stop as i was intrested to try and when i did it felt like something slipped

    I.E one of the sprockets

    any ideas

  • Tighten the sprocket on to the hub as hard as you can then tighten the shit out of the lockring. Go for a ride up as big a hill as you can find without applying any backwards pressure to the pedals then tighten the lockring again. Should sort you out.

  • Sounds like sprocket/lockring to me too. What Bobbo said :)

  • Cheers lads
    The mongoose is getting a good usage this year!

    Steve I owe you a coffee and Danish still!
