Scotland : Kingdom of Fife CC Ecosse Round The Forth Ride - Sat 15th Sept

[tug benson]

Yip i`ve just been reading about the headset....will have to do a it more reading before i grease that, am not to sure how to do that

 

[tug benson]

I'm getting a loud clank metal on metal sound, will check my pedals. I can also hear a sloshing of water in my rear wheel.

I was adamant that the clicking/crunching i could hear was the front crank or the front gears....i took it in to dales cycle, they gave it a full service and re-built the front crank...first ride and that noise is still there....so i thought it has to be the pedals, so i`ve taken the pedasl off put a wee drop oil on them, re-fittd them had a wee ride up and down the street and would you believe it the noise is gone...

Also you back tyre is the brake rubbing?

Nope, it's when the wheel spins I can hear a 'grinding' noise and then a sloshing of water. Thinking that water might have gotten into the hub and dried the grease out.

Good job! I will see you at the CC ride next Saturday (if I'm correct)?

Less than a week to go now

I'm going to PM everybody who said Yes, Maybe and who has posted but not voted my mobile number and that way if there is a problem on the day or you change your mind and can no longer make it etc then atleast we know you aint coming and saves waiting for people who are not coming and vice versa if you are running late then we can wait around until you get there.

Hoping for great weather and a great turnout on the day, i'm not entirely sure of road and direction so i'll leave that up to the people who turnup and what they think is best

Really looking forward to the ride

[Fubar]

Just PM'd you - barring disasters I intend to be there, though if it's just Jamie, Col, Jazloc and me I might be getting an ambulance home! What about Mr Scoosh?!?

 

[Rasmus]

I might end up getting some spare time on Saturday after all. Not enough to do the full route, but I might ride up to meet you somewhere in the vicinity of Grangemouth, and maybe join your for some cake at Culross if that is still on the schedule.

 

[Scoosh]

Mr Scoosh is a Maybe - mainly dependent on Mrs Scoosh - she of the broken humerus.

Give a Facebook nudge [] to HonestMan and Sleekitcollie too - their navigation would be handy and Sleekit's stories of driving the Olympic flame around the country should be good !
