Show us your.......newbie progress! [4 Sep 2012 - 4 Oct 2014]

My RD hanger was straightened today so I will be back out tomorrow even with my sore hand, shoulder & chest - jeez, what a total hero!

My mech' was a tiddly bit out of skew and affected shifting but it was impossible to see any bend in the hanger itself.

LBS used his clever Park Tools device and the pointer was 0.75" difference off the rim at the top vs the bottom. Quickly adjusted and now it is straight and shifting perfectly.

I'll now be able to fly up and down my cogs even if I can't fly up the blooming great hills round here.

Sleep tight all - tomorrow is nearly here and will hopefully be another great riding day!

Can I ask you SD which shop is your LBS? I use Evans in Kendal but your guys sound great.

Well if you see a silver Cannondale with blue wheels (I will wager there wont be many of them) say hi!

Wheels or tires?

Simply put the @ symbol before writing someones name. It will pop up with riders and you can click the right one.

Ta very much but doesn't seem to work for me?? Does it matter that I'm using Firefox do you think?

 

[Nomadski]

I'm using firefox too @Mo1959?

Don't put any spaces after the @ symbol, start typing my name for example and after a few letters the pop up should appear near the bottom of the screen?

 

[Mo1959]

@Nomadski Got it now. Old age and all that!
