Scotland : Glasgow & Clyde Valley Pedal on Parliament 2 - the feeder ride - Sunday 19th May

[mr messy]

I would like to take this time to apoligize to anybody that is cycling with me tomorrow, i have a bloody annoying clicking noise coming from somewhere on my bike when i stand on the pedals, the clicking noise is driving me mad and i have every faith in this clicking noise anybody who hears this noise will also be driving mad


So far i though it was the bottom bracket so i upgraded my bottom bracket the friday before the Etape, it wasn`t tha, i thought it was maybe the pedals so i got brand new pedals, it wasn`t that either....i think it may becoming from the back of the bike

Sounds like skewer not tight enough maybe...
I won't hear it...got Fulcrum Racing 7's....

I'm having to amend my participation from a confirmed to a "possibly not". I've had a cluster of episodes since yesterday and I'm not keen on running the risk of having another one on the bike. Will see how I get on today.

Sorry to hear that Ed... hope today was more positive and everything crossed that you can make it along (or more importantly, feel better soon!)

Sorry, decided against coming along, hope all goes well!

Just double checked, my bell is definitely tinging so I'm good to go. Though now I'm not sure if I should ride to the meeting point from home (Anniesland) or risk the train being on time to High Street... probably safer cycling!

Just popped down to the park to say hello to Pat and the Belles. They looked in good spirit and all set for the ride.

The weather is a little grey, but mild and with almost no wind - a nice day for a ride!

See you all soon.
