Itching to get back on my bike's
Location
Northamptonshire
Nice sunny lunch time walk completed
 
Warm, breezy and occasionally sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

Forgot to mention that it was bin day here yesterday, and that my blue wheelie bin was emptied and black bag collected.

Anyways, I spent the morning doing kitchen stuff - which included putting away the rest of the shopping and doing the prep work for tonight's supper.

Almost time for lunch, and then it's bike time! :hyper:

Oh, I think it’s stopped raining.

Maybe a bike ride tomorrow? :becool:

I will find that click.

Did a little nine miler off road to fit in with lunch break. The flipping click is still there (although only when not pedaling hard).

Left SPD (XT) has been disassembled (axel on crank) and cones nipped up and grease slapped on. Tightened back up, then pedal removed from crank. Got a 'crack' as it was loosened, so potentially dry threads. Cleaned and greased.

Now if that's not gone now, there is something seriously wrong with my hip, ankle or knee. Amputation or TNT for the bike ! :whistle:

And no it's not a shoe lace :laugh: or particular clothing (tried different clothing and shoes). Not tried riding naked yet ! Be warned.

I remember a click that I couldn't trace for ages. It turned out that a brake cable end* had got bent into the line of a heel strike.

*Oops, not paying attention. Front dérailleur cable end.
