I think my bike is protesting somewhat, for some strange reason, i couldnt change gear at all!! noisy drive, rattling like mad.

I need this bike to commute, i havent set the other bike up yet!!!

some how, gear hanger bent, front mech noisy, cant change on to largest chainring, really annoying and so sudden too.

Perhaps bike is in protest

    Chucked it down, let it drop?

    Parked it in a cycle rack?

    I've seen people pulling their bikes out of the rack at my place, and I tell, it ain't pretty.

    Well not dropped by me!! needed to bend gear hanger back and readjust gear cables, very odd.

    Do the front mech and cable need a lube?
    FCN 2-4.
