You know it's time to give up when you start wondering just how much noise a big pipe wrench makes against steel tubing.I've decided to turn it into a brakeless fixed. It's the only way.

Ha I should have had all the agro for you ... I changed my chain - 2nd time I've done it, and made the same mistake and took out the wrong link this afternoon. I also managed to break the chain splitter tool as well. Then put it back on the bike almost right... just the wrong side of one little bit. Luckily spotted it before riding it - it helped it was making a horrible rattlely noise
Hows it going now?

. At least you got it all sorted inthe end though .I've given up now, it's ok for tomorrow's commute but may need to go to the LBS, this is about the third time in 4 months I've failed to adjust the gears without success and I'm not usually *that* bad with mechanics.
Don't think I could do fixed either. Maybe I'll just remove the transmission completely and scoot - less to go wrongCrackle said:

I wonder if they make kiddy seats in Baggy sizes?Baggy said:Don't think I could do fixed either. Maybe I'll just remove the transmission completely and scoot - less to go wrong.
Check that, I'd need one of those bikes that you see a tiny Chinese man using to transport a 3 piece suite, his in-laws and some livestock. At the same time.

If he was a gentleman he would have fixed it for you.... bit like Mr Summerdays sorting out my chain "Do I have to do it for you?" - "No just fix the resulting mess"
Did you give in to temptation ... ?
