Ewww you share transport with the masses. How unclean. Lol

Piss boiled nicely today. Lovely blue sky, fuck all clouds, warm. Perfect day for a nice long ride in the Pennines. I get to the end of my street and the pedals just spin, no drive whatsoever. The freehub has failed completely. So I pull it to bits, no id on it anywhere. Ring the shop I bought the bike from, they say it'll take a week to get a replacement.

Fuck that. Straight up to Winstanley's in Wigan, brand new wheel with a proper British Hope hub, a company who can supply any spares you like with no wait. Fully serviceable.

Buy nice or buy twice, I should never forget it. Off out shortly for a short 20 mile ride, hopefully the weather will be good tomorrow.

Sounds expensive

Started work at 8 this morning, get home, decorate (glossing, I fucking hate glossing) Every day this week.

And the bastard cat brought in yet another rabbit for me. The dustbin men will think I am some sort of rabbit murderer, there are 6 of them in there this week. I might start skinning them and see if I can make a pie.

Thank fuck for Doombar

Doom bar? Is that where all the super villains go after getting their arses kicked?

 

[fettoken]

Hotels with tesco value irons.

I've travelled a long way and my work shirts are creased. The least the 200 quid a night wankers can do is provide something a little better than a slightly warm toy.

When in Turkey the last time there weren't any irons either, so what i did was ask in the reception if they had someone that could iron my shirts and they sorted it out!

Not far off. If i weren't me I'd give myself a like

Funnily enough, for components designed and manufactured in Lancashire, Hope kit is pretty decently priced for the quality you get.

You going to make your own cams?

My house is full of steamed piss. New wheel, new chain, new cassette, new jockey wheels (for the rear derailleur), all working lovely. While replacing them I noticed the teeth on the smaller front chainring were quite badly worn and made a mental note to order a replacement.

I can only assume the new chain didn't like the old, worn chainring (parts wear together so the old chain would have been fine with it) because 1 mile from my house the chain pulled itself up the wrong side of the worn chainring (chain suck) ripped the rear derailleur off the bike and smashing the cage to bits, while also twisting the metal hanger (which takes up to 10 days to replace), rendering the entire bike completely fucking useless.



So that's £50 for a new rear derailleur (pointless buying just the cage because it'll take ages to come and will cost about the same), £15 for a new hangar (whenever that fucking comes), and one pissed off cyclist. Then I get home and pull the old bike out, only to remember the worn crank that I never bothered to replace since I had a new bike at the time. So after the world's shortest ride (again) I come home and order a replacement crank, another £50.

Fuck road bikes for a bit, it's time for the mountain bike to come out. I bet that fucker will tip me off a cliff tomorrow.

Yup..you have to change the lot with a well worn chain...which is funny because in 40 years of cycling its only in the past five years this has happened..I blame tighter tolerances and all these fancy twisted teeth tech.

I'm pretty sure convincing hoolywood won't be hard, hollywood on the other hand.....

Its just not the same if you don't have people walking past on their way for a piss, I am always disappointed if they don't go the other way 5 minutes later.

Hope triple eight old bean.

Gores Farm downhill will make you smile. Or knob that all off and do Cut Gate both ways from Langsett reservoir.

You can't go wrong

My weekus horribilis continues. Pulled the MTB out, serviced the rear shock with new seals - didn't fix a lack of rebound. That has to go back, £100 to fix it. Still rideable though, if very bouncy. Also replaced a gear cable that was causing poor gear changes. Replaced the very poor condition pedals, fixed a puncture, and off I went, 15 miles in the mud, no issues other than noticeably worn out shoes. So today I bought some spiffy new shoes and went for another ride. Got a puncture in the middle of nowhere, no problem, I'll just fix it on the trail - oh shit, bolt-through hub, where's my massive allen key? At home. Had to pump the rear tyre up about 3 times before I made it back to the car. Almost threw the bike through the window but resisted and carried it in through the doorway.

Oh and the front shock probably needs a service too, which is more money. Fucking bikes.

my mate's in a similar situation Tomlar. he's fixing up a 6yo monster. currently all his issues are with the hydraulics and he's fairly frothing at the mouth haha

When protest groups have a go at the Police for protecting the other group;

'YOU SUPPORT NAZIS'

'YOU SUPPORT TERRORISTS'

When one group realises that the Police are just doing their job, they'll earn my respect

Back off holiday. That's annoying enough in itself.

Went on our regular breakfast ride to a cafe with the bird this morning. There's a short section on a road which the council has narrowed artificially - giving priority to traffic coming up the hill (going down you have to wait till it's clear).

Was halfway through the narrowed section going up the hill when a cunt in a volvo decided, after clearly looking at the right-of-way sign, that he wasn't stopping for a cyclist. A stand off ensued where he insisted he had right of way and I should be on the pavement. He managed to roll forward into my front wheel before embarassedly reversing back up to the sign I'd invited him to re-view.

Why is britain so full of cunts? In spain the drivers were inordinately courteous - both to pedestrians and cyclists. It's *so* weird.

Fox RP23 shock, somehow the rebound fluid has leaked out and that's not at all user serviceable

 

[Tom]

It gets worse. I have repaired the puncture three times and three times it's put a new hole in the inner tube. I had the tyre completely off and couldn't find anything to cause it, even when putting pressure on the tyre. So the tyre is now living in the dustbin and an old wire bead Maxxis Highroller has gone on. Oh and getting the Maxxis off the old wheel snapped two Park levers.

What the fuck.
