As I was close from home and it was a sunny evening I simply walked the last .5mile. <BR/><BR/>Fiddlin' in the garage it transpires that a plate had sheared this time which I've never seen before. Oh hum, bodged the sucka back together and it seemed fine this morning.Farquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676124388874594667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19207934.post-1138812574952355432006-02-01T16:49:00.000+00:002006-02-01T16:49:00.000+00:00That's a good point, The commuter had Shimano fitt...That's a good point, The commuter had Shimano fitted.

Which I hadn't clocked beforehand, but it was sufficient to buck the bike. Sure enough, within a few hundred meters, I had a flat !<BR/><BR/>I hope there's not a 3rd "incident" waiting for me tonight !Farquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676124388874594667noreply@blogger.com
