Sometimes I wonder if I should be allowed near the toolkit.
This morning I noticed my chain sticking as I left the house, after a few hundred yards of shifting up an down I stopped to investigate.
Turning the cranks by hand, it looked like the chain maybe had a stiff link or a jocket wheel was snagging something.
Flipped the bike over, checked each link by hand (getting my hands covered in oil in the process)- no stiff links. Checked the jockey wheels - nothing.
I was just about to give up and go back to swap bikes, turned the crank one more time by hand and noticed the chain was snagging on the crank - how could this be?
Because I'd put the cadence magnet on the wrong pedal and it was sticking to the chain every time it went past :oops:
A couple of months ago i changed the chain while drunk and when I woke up the next morning to ride to work, I realised that I'd not put it through the front mech :?
Anyone else do stuff like this or do i need an extra spoonfull of coffee in my morning cup?

I do this type of stuff regularly.....too much haste and not enough careful consideration of what I'm doing.0

Definitely another jar of coffee needed in the morning cup I think
Might I suggest you don't adjust the brakes after a few beers
