Well ????
Reading some of the threads absolutely filled me with dread at the prospect of sorting mine out. It had started to creak over the last couple of weeks when putting a bit of effort in, and had started to bug me a lot.
I was warned by one of my LBS's that they can get a bit of grit in them which causes this. I was advised to whiz it apart with the right tools, clean it with a degreaser and then apply a light film of grease on reassembly...ot stump up £40 and they'd do it.
Well, I've got a big can of brake and carb cleaner, and I invested in an Aldi cycle tool kit a few weeks ago...which has now payed for itself
You would have to be a total mechanical numpty to mess this bit of the bike up.
So that is that then
