I've bought a grandfather clock off eBay.

I finished building my long-planned 2 sprockets on a Sturmey hub experiment last night, using 2 x 3/32" Shimano Nexus sprockets, a basic derailleur chain and an old '70s Huret mech as I couldn't find a '50s Cyclo derailleur at a sensible price to use a 1/8" chain like I would have preferred.

All seemed to work very well last night so went for a test ride this morning and I was really pleased with the results and the gear change was surprisingly crisp despite the use of sprockets which aren't supposed to be used for a derailleur. I was busy congratulating myself when the spring in the mech to hold the tension in the chain decided to snap leaving me with a loose chain that wouldn't stay on and a 5 mile walk home in the rain. GRRRRRRRRR!

Raining this morning when I got up, so no ride for me this morning.:sad::sad: Instead spent the morning in town with my Good Lady and my Son, the good thing is my Son paid me for the MP3 player I sold him after I brought my new one, I used the money to buy us lunch.
