Out riding last night hit a pot hole (not paying attention and you need to pay attention in Essex!)
Anyway bike started to make an annoying rattle, so i ignored it for 5 miles but it wasnt getting any better and i started to wonder if i'd pinged a spoke, anyway it turned out that the 2nd of my bottle cages had cracked between the 2 allen key lugs and this was the culprit, re-arranged and tightned bolts all sorted.....
However during my road side review i noticed that there was some (maybe 2-3mm) of lateral play in the bottom bracket, tbh i don't notice this when pedaling and the bb is still totally silent...
Im looking to do 100k this weekend and 100 miles next weekend (Essex Roads Autum Leaves)
Don't really think it needs replacing and don't really have time to get it to the LBS...what do you reckon ?
