OK folks, what do you think? I've been given a Join Request from someone who I don't think is a CycleChatter (from Portugal). Do I say yes or no?

Wait and see if they post on this thread maybe,then you'll know if they are.
I would keep it to genuine cc'ers only personally.

I think the chap with the turbo miles (djbikereno) isn't a CycleChatter either so I'm tempted to cancel him from the team. After all, we're the CycleChat team, not Any Random Person Who Wants To Try To Beat The Aussies team!

1-not a cc'er
2-turbo miles

I think that if anyone wants to join the team they should at least be members of the forum. They need not be the most frequent posters but they should show some interest in the forum.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Garz]

Agreed big keith!

Hokey cokey. I shall check before I accept any other unknowns whether they are on the forum.

Right, I should be back to work on Tuesday so will get some commuting miles in. I haven't been out on the bike since last Sunday.

No turbo miles and no Non CC'rs imvho.

 

[Madcyclist]

No miles for me today, been too busy route planning.

Hopefully you won't exclude CC'rs under a minimum number of posts !!

I think your post count is more then enough Mr Madcyclist

He/She's probably an Aussie ringer... so they have grounds to complain when we win.

 

[Noodley]

I got confirmation e-mail today (2 weeks after submitting it) so my low number of miles now added....request sent to join the CC team.

 

[Auntie Helen]

Your request has been granted.

I was out on a 45 mile ride today with Wowbagger and after 12.5 miles my rear gear mech hanger bent out of shape (it's bizarre, we can't work out how!) so I had to phone my Dad for rescue by car. Looks like the trike's off the road for a couple of days until ICE can send me a replacement part. Boo!

after 12.5 miles my rear gear mech hanger bent out of shape (it's bizarre, we can't work out how!)

My experience (based upon our unique viewpoint of the bike in front) is that an unexplained bend in or around the rear derailleur is typically triggered by the chain locking up as it tries to pass through the jockey wheels. The resulting tug pulls the mech in an unexpected direction onto itself, with more than enough force to bend it.

As often as not, post bend, the chain then frees, and (as it all happens on the spring loaded return line) there's not even a break in cadence. The exception is if it holds on (in which case you suddenly run out of chain slack) or you hear the 'scccchhhhlock!' sound of it biting and backpedal (in which case one finds the derailleur stretching out to meet the pedals.

Or, Wowbagger is deliberately sabotaging you because he has:
- a beard and anger management issues.
- committed to rohloff and can't bear the idea of anyone using a cassette.
- deep seated psychiatric problems.

I seamed to have caught a cold in that icey, rainy, snowy stuff from yesterday morning, thought best to take the train today to not make it anyworse, but hoepfully back on the bike tomorrow!
