Yes, they are total Tw**ts, because everyone I set them up for complains, as everyone thinks that its got 22 gears that you can use them all, you don't need too as the coverage will fill in if you use the front and rear accordingly..........

Those were not my immediate thoughts when, having been charged £20 by CycleSurgery, Shepherds Bush, the chain fell off on the very first change down onto the smaller chainring. Their quick fix when I took the bike back was no better.Yes, they are total Tw**ts, because everyone I set them up for complains, as everyone thinks that its got 22 gears that you can use them all, you don't need too as the coverage will fill in if you use the front and rear accordingly..........

Have a think and Ask a couple of questions and I may tell you, you'll kick yourself when I eventually tell you, cause its totally obvious.......

What I meant to say was that I set them up as usable gearing as in if you are on the large chain-ring at the front I would not expect you to be using the 2 inside cogs on the cassette at the same time, and vice versa, on the inside at the front and the outside 2 on the back, as the chain deflection causes a bit noise in that combination...Hope this explains it better,....

I don't really hate doing anything but if I'm on the road and can't find a good place to 'rest' the bike then I get frustrated.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleaning is something I tend to put off - especially in the winter when it'll be undone on the very next ride and especially so if it's cold. Washing with water in freezing weather is just hateful.
Pumping tyres up for both myself and Mrs 26 before a ride does get a bit too much. And now I've left my track pump 250 miles away at my mother's

There are no jobs I actively hate, but you know that thing when you've trimmed a cable and it hasn't ended up 100% tight at the end..maybe one slightly frayed wire...and you cross your fingers and start feeding it thru' the cable housing and it's fine and it goes all the way....almost. And then 3" from the end, you feel it suddenly stop sliding thru', and you think, 'uh-oh'...
