Maintenance/repair day yesterday.
Rode off for my Saturday morning ride and heared a clicking sound from the rear end.
I have heared this before and it is the rear cones.
Stripped the rear axle and yes, a small pit in the driveside cone.
I had only renewed the rear cones in April, 3000 miles ago, so why should they get a pit this early.
Then it occured to me....
The rear wheel has not been out since then cus I haven't had a P*..
So here's some advise for all those readers who haven't got cartridge hubs but do have P* resistant tyres.
"Take the wheels out periodically and turn the axle to a different position."
PS. New cones £1.00 each from LBS ( good mates ).
