    You got your own back a few days later though.

    That's true. On the Tuesday and Wednesday I'd recovered to my normal awesome self. And, Thursday 26th September was the day I've had the most fun ever on a bike. Even though I twisted/damaged the rear end of the NRS by putting down too much torque, :D

    New bike or just a new rear end? Bike not yours!

    And well done over 2k raised.

    TBH, I don't know yet. The rear end was flexing whilst pedalling, so could be a bearing or bushing that's gone. I'll know once I've had a good look at it tomorrow.

    (there's currently an NRS frame for sale on ebay though... :wink: )

    Meh, the upper part of the rear triangle assembly (just above where the rear mech's attached) has cracked somewhat. Unfortunately the identical part for sale on ebay is from a later model and won't fit. :(

    Not sure yet what I'm going to do. I need a few days to think about it.
