I was riding up to Colchester today on my M3L. Up the hill into Brentwood something nasty happened. It felt as if the chain was slipping but it wasn't. I assume the issue was inside the hub. It didn't matter which gear it was in - just if it was under pressure.
I walked the hill and got on at the top. There is then a long downhill and only a small slope. I pressed gingerly on. When I did get to the next decent incline I got up ok. The problem seems to have resolved itself and the next 40 miles were ok.
I plan to ride back to London tomorrow but should I panic, worry a bit or just forget it? What do you think went wrong and is there a cure?
