Title: my ride for the day
Post by power_bent on Mar 19^th, 2009, 10:47pm

Well today was a great day to ride. Started off real good. Towards the end of ride I notice that my bike was acting weird and notice the rear brake was having pulsation when applied. So I decide to work on my bike when i got home.Well the rear wheel was not straight anymore so change the wheel , then proceed to fix the gears on back to come to find out that the cable was rolled up inside of cable tube ( One strand of cable broke then rolled inside of tube). On hooking my brake back together(cantilever brake) the boot was hard and had a hard time hooking the nook on cable. So took the boot off and put back together. Went for a test drive and shift good and the rear brake works better than the front now woo hoo.Got back home to put things in garage and bent down to pick up the rear wheel and notice I had a broken spoke . That the second one in 3 month.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks Thomas Jenkins :)

I upped my mileage alot this year and i've not only stalled but I'm going back up.. oy.. Let me know when you find some nice grass.

That or I gotta get out on my touring upright more. I'm convinced my recumbent adds calories instead of burning them. [smiley=evil.gif]

Broken spokes :'( Nothing ruins my weeks as much as those.
