Coventry is a tad damp this morning. For some strange reason I woke up with this running in my head.

Bit worrying that....

What a filthy day..
I moved my new Marin last night and found the BB has partially siezed.
30 Miles !! I did ride through a bit of flooding but wtf 30 miles and only bought it on the 22 December!!

I'll have to see if it can be saved though I think a trip to the shop will be needed.
Should be a free new one

D**n ! I just fancied some toast, buttered it and was about to take a bite when ! Guess what's in it ?

Did it have any grease in it ?

So, a Marin is nowhere near marine....

I've just had it in bits..and yes red grease..but despite my efforts it's knackered.
Bearings looked good and shiny but as tight as a tight thing.

Fitted a fresh one that came off my Orange Crush build " shimano XT" good condition and now packed with white waterproof grease.

The Marin one just looks like a generic cheap thing

Peugeot Boxer and alutech chassis.

Over here, looks like the Ram Van(don't laugh) Promaster. I believe they are all a Fiat Ducato.

My driveway now has a 2014 Nissan Murano parked on it. Old Lancer will probably go to auction. I don't see any dealer having that on their lot. Ten year's service, rarely any repair time, no big issues at all. Lancer was a very fine car, but a minivan more suits me, what with hauling bikes and all. And being 6'3" tall.

Oh, and here's a bunch of pictures, although I have base level interior, and don't have the tent (yet).

Tipping down with snow here. Not what I was expecting from the forecast.

 

[Speicher]

Raining here, I do not want your snow thank you Phil.

The garden is too wet for gardening. So I am indoors this weekend doing sewing.

Anyone got any garments that need altering or repairing? Please note that I do not include the turning up of trousers.

Lincolnshire police are geting fitness mentors, me thinks that might mean less time spent policeing.
