i've snapped the spring on the suspension of my car, then he told me that the brakes needed doing when i took it to the garage (gf cousin so i know he's not lying). the rear end of my bike is creaking and groaning - i think a bearing or 2 might have gone now on a ride around cwmcarn this morning i've blown a seal on my pikes!!! oil's pissing out everywhere :(

on the up side when i got back to the car i was next to a very nice guy and his wife and she just happened to work for tf tuned, told me they have a 1 day turn around on repair right now and it should be about 85 quid, still have to wait til i get paid though :cry:

    today i noticed a massive kink in my rear brake hose and my deraillier hanger is bent and the shock bushes are gonna need replacing soon. :( but it gives me an excuse to fit blue hoses to match the other things i'm buying for it :D

    Random clank/schnap when putting heavy load through cranks on Cassandra. The Kula(unnamed) has stopped going down the front gears.

    That (painfully) reminds me, my shlong got introduced to the back end of my stem thursday night after my bars clipped an iron fence obscured by overgrown bushery.... they didn't exactly "hit it off" well, pretty much on non-speaking terms now. But seriously it was a HARD knock, one of those ones where you start dreading the warm, wet feeling of blood.


    Fortunately come friday all was well, no broken penis. But I have looked at a few cups since.

    I noticed a very worrying bit of oil seeping out of the Rebas yesterday. I'll inspect them tonight, I'm going to Wales for a few days at the weekend, so it better not be serious.

    Cassette, chainset, rear hub, both brakes, chain and possibly front hub have all decided to give up at once. New bits going on tomorrow. Expensive but quite exciting :wink:

    Took my Wolf Ridge into get a brake bleed and ask the shop to sort out the sticky levers...turns out it's a known issue that the seals/springs in the levers aren't up to the job so they have been sent away to Hayes for new parts under warranty.

    Still waiting for a 7spd cassette to be delivered to get the commuter back up and running.

    My Fox F100s still have intermittent knocking problem(even after a £99 service)..however i have found if I turn them upside down for a few seconds it goes...

    i have the best gf in the world. i've just got may car back from the garage and it cost 200 quid, we were talking on the way back about my bike being fooked and i told her that a service on my pikes will be £85, i said i'd wait til i got paid and she said no way you can get it done now i know how much you love riding your bike :D:D:D

    how awsome is she 8)
  • You now need to tell her that they wont take a normal service and you'll have to get them push'd.

    Then tell her to go make you some cake!
