out for a ride this morning, lovely day, nice to not get cold and/or wet
after some random fiddling with the adjuster on the rear mech, trying to eliminate an annoying lag on some shifts, i decided to have a good look
held bike up by seat stay, turned cranks, watching closely
there was a noise in the background, my subconscious helpfully informed me that it sounded like a freewheel in the distance
tweaked adjuster until things seemed right
lowered bike
noticed a cool tingle on my right foot, maybe these new footbeds aren't quite right suggested the helpful subconscious, had an experimental toe wiggle, all seemed ok
turned to mount up, then, and only then, did i see the wet patch on the road
slowly the dots joined up in my head
with the bike held up, the water bottle had gently decanted the entire contents onto the headtube, along the forks and finally onto my foot
refilled at a cafe
two more hours with a soggy foot, some things never change
