Hi everyone. I really enjoy this forum as it is friendly and inclusive. Many forums on the web are niche and for people spending thousands on carbon this, or titanitum that and specialist knowledge required.
I like to keep to the basics in cycling, keep it simple. When you look at manufacturers with their different ranges, loads of Shimano groupsets you wonder if it's all marketing hype. Who can say the £1500 bike is better than the £400 one? You can get satisfaction from restoring a £25 second hand bike.
For me it's a simple, green and cheap way of getting from A to B.
My query is, on my newest bike (Appollo CX10 from Halfords - I know it's not the best thing on two wheels but it does me) when I am pushing it along there is a distinct clicking noise from the rear wheel hub.
However on my other e-bay bargain old mountain bike it is silent when moving along, both have the same gear system. Does the silence indicate worn gear hub?
Ta.
