The wind has seemed to be relentless this year . Never known it so persistent, even for Alberton & surrounds .

The Ouzo Posted November 6, 2021 Share My normal Saturday pre work route, anti-clockwise around ORT. todays objective was zone 2 ride, head wind on the way out made it slow progress. I started having issues changing gears, started with a general not jumping to the next cog very easily, then it would skip a cog here and there. By the time I got half way I was riding a single speed with the occasional shift possible here and there. a quick 30 second investigation about 2km from home had me thinking it’s just the cable sticking under the BB. after work and lunch today I pulled the bike out to sort it out. Cable under BB moving freely, so i start cleaning and lubing everywhere the inner goes into the outer. Doesn’t help. Through all of this I’m starting to feel the levers are not feeling right. no problem I think, I’ve had this issue with older sti’s, they just need and clean and a lube. So I set about doing this, but it’s not helping. this is when I decide to get the hoods further out the way and take off the plastic covers inside the levers. this is where i see (I’m not wearing my specs) strands of fiber. Strange as I never use a cloth that could leave fibers. investigate further and discover those fibers are actually frayed cable, gear cable has let go. long story short I’ve changed the rear gear cable for tomorrows ride.

The Ouzo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Went looking for hills this morning. Found a hurt locker. Felt like the handbrake was up, even stopped at one point to check that the wheels were indeed spinning freely. I’m now properly broken.
