getting sunnier this week, I finished last week in winter gear, if it keeps up like this Ill be full summer gear tomorrow
but the ride home was crazy, it went from 23 degrees sunny blue sky at lunchtime, to what felt like riding in storm force head winds and it was showering in spots too, cloudy overcast, but still quite warm, very confusing.
of course the forecast is now trending cold again so who knows, but might not even be able to ride my bike as I think Ive got a problem on it thats defying my attempts to fix it so far at least..
its hard to explain but the bike felt a bit odd on the way in, like Id got a bit of a slow rear puncture or something, or it just felt like the rear wheel was doing some odd things,wobbling abit maybe, but checked the pressures and everything and it seemed all ok
on the ride home it still felt a bit odd, but now Im dealing with this crazy head wind too, and it starts off ok but just the longer the ride, the worse the bike is getting,and the more it feels like Im riding through treacle, to the point near the end of the ride I was putting in so much effort to turn the pedals my knees were hurting with the strain, but I literally couldnt keep it moving much above 10mph and every strong gust of wind I was almost coming to a complete stop.
but just as I turn out of the wind and then suddenly the bikes way more responsive again, it still felt abit odd, but it was rideable again, and Im like that cant surely just have been that wind, there must be some mechanical thing going wrong here like the rear brake is kicking in, but Ive not solved it yet, it might be easier to just book into an LBS and get them to service it.
loose bearings in the hub causing play so the brakes are catching ?
