    Goshdarnit. Sheared off a chainring bolt. Will I die if I ride to work with only 4 out of 5 chainring bolts present and correct?

    your chainring will buckle, bending front mech, gouging chainstay, and snapping chain

    you won't die, but as all this will happen in full view of communters and hipsters, you'll wish that you had
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny
  • I heard that the small gap creates chaotic and unstable eddy currents that pull out your bottom bracket and often tear off your lower leg. But, if you do that somewhere near some hipsters there's a good chance they'll either be sucked in or splattered with goo so crack on...

    Think there's a used chainset in the garage I can pinch a bolt off, you'd have to come and get it though. Be grateful I don't live in Sweatland.

    Cheers V. I'll nick one off the boy's bike and buy some in town tomorrow.

    No, but it will probably creak like hell.

    I went cycling in Fife today. It was nice. Even had a cafe stop.

    I lost a chainring bolt once. I used a zip tie as a tempoary measure. It stayed there for weeks and I didn't even catch a cold!

    Why Fife? You know you can get hit by flying golf balls in Fife.

    As oppose to getting hit by stationary golf balls?

    The hills around falkland and kinross are great. Who got hit by a golf ball?

    Pub was fun, lots of meat and cider - with a bonus of my old chap paying

    Tired now though and just checked my watch and it confirms I'm old as 4hrs 13 mins sleep last night has left me tired

    It's a pre-requisite of you want to post regularly in here.

    I wouldn't want to wobble slalom fashion around stationary golf balls.

    Have you thought about a visit to Edwyn's Emporium? You could probably get a Bear skin coat. Maybe even Stoat (made out of 400 of the f*ckers).

    But I'm much too old for a mid life crisis

    Maybe you're going to live to 143.
