What's wrong with your bike right now

[Tynan]

and the right shoe is missing a cleat bolt

I never get round to things, it being a commuter, I have a new tyre and rear brake ready to fit, just haven't got to it yet

LBS fitting new running gear on Friday, that is a show stopper as the chain and the big ring hate each other,

Bar tape is dirty...oh and my shoes creak but that's not really the bikes fault....just cheap shoes.

Popped a rear spoke.
And the rim is excessively ("I wouldn't ride that again if I were you") worn.
Brake hoods completely shredded, can't be replaced as no-ones' got the right hoods any more.


Oh well I have another bike. I'll ride that while the shop fixes it.

More bar tape woes. Recently one corner of the black tape sticking one side down came up by a millimetre or so. There was just enough adhesive left to rub off on my fingertips, which is just a horrible feeling; certainly it knocks the OP's catalog of woe into perspective. Spent much of the ride having to reposition my hands (I often grip the bars near the centre, when I deign to grip them at all). This of course put me off my stride. As soon as I got home I rectified the situation, and once again, all is well.

the chain and the big ring hate each other

Relate do bikes.

my lord what a change, tearing around like a loon again without worrying about the chain

 

[hennbell]

Road bike tyre flat - slow leak, to be fixed tonight
Cyclocross chain needs replaced, crack in rear rim - waiting for chain not sure about replacing wheelset.
MTB - good
City bike - good
Cruiser - good

Brake's a bit soft, popped in Freeman's and he put his sandwich down and said I could bring it in tomorrow and he'll do it so I don't lose the bike overnight so I said I'd bring him half a dozen rosemary cuttings for his daughter, black economy FTW!

Rear Campagnolo spoke gone, been waiting 6 weeks for the repair. The commuter is awaiting sending back to Rose for a knackered rear hub which sounds like a grinder but silent in the rain, need one to be fixed before I can get the other one fixed... 6 weeks for Evans to locate a Zonda spoke is pissing me off, I complained today and the guy bought one himself from Amazon lol cracking chap.

Just ridden my commute bike for the first time since winter. Oh dear. Runs well enough but really needs completely taking apart and putting together again. Spare time is nil so it'll have to wait.

Mine is covered in peri peri sauce.
Hit a pothole on the way back from the co-op. My rather too full of shopping handlebar basket bounced on the front wheel, cracked the mudguard and smashed a bottle of peri peri sauce.

Brompton front hub bearings are getting clicky

 

[Tynan]

new rear tyre fitted, new rear brake fitted, new tube in rear

Someone drove into the back of me when I was cycling to work and wrecked the rear wheel. I'm still in hospital recovering.
