This way, when you need to quickly ascertain the correct position of said band on front mech post mangle you simply need to reposition it on the clean section of the tube. <br />Secondly, always recycle your KMC master links! I finished the Phil Cooke with three master links on my chain and it would have been a long walk home from Warwickshire to Harrold without them. <br />Finally, never, ever try to race BMc up a punchy climb whilst wearing a novelty Northwave skeleton jersey, he will rip your legs off and hide them in a ditch. <br />Thanks for a great day out, I am looking forward to the Hell of the North. My Condor is off for some TLC from John at Priory Marina Cycles on Thursday. Meanwhile, I've done a couple of 100km rides into London on my Evans cheapie. The front mech is playing up but responds to a good kick if the spring sticks. It will get a clean and service tomorrow.Ricknoreply@blogger.com
