:shock: hello peeps I have been viewing this site for a while and really appreciate the advice. I am glad to have found such a knowledgable group. I have been cycling for ten years and i have a huge problem. My crank arm keeps rubbing against my front fork which is coursing me terrible distress! I have almost crashed a few times and am thinking of packing it in and buying a car, but it is such jolly fun going down the hill at 50+ I feel I am addicted to the rush. I think essentially i am suicidal, what should i do?

Hello!

How on earth does this happen, I can see no physical way it can do this?!

Bit of a Donnie Yen / Jet Li fan?

If your crank arm is rubbing against the forks it is possible your bike is missing a component; the frame perhaps? Take it to your LBS where they will be happy to ridicule you publicly.

If you are seriously contemplating suicide, I understand jumping from a tall building is reasonably effective.

Acrylic builds up static electricity. Which, when has sufficient build up it can actually deviate the path of water which is excellent when commuting.
