What's wrong with your bike right now

[Headgardener]

Rider broke, awaiting end of repair session. Should be somewhere around the end of August all being well.

[Edit] Received letter for followup appointment with consultant on 30th of July so should know more after that.

Rear caliper is beginning to snag, won't relax after braking and no amout of stripping and lubing seems to help (that just sounds wrong!).

Whilst it's "fine" it annoys me that something on the bike is not functioning right.

It'll have to go!

It's in the huff because it heard rumours of a new arrival and will be getting converted back to original

 

[Tynan]

the current one is now written off, LBS were shocked that I'd been riding it, forks damaged, handlebars damaged, frame damaged.

on the train/boris bikes now, with a quote to submit to the cycle for work scheme, torn between £1250 for a Genesis Equilibrium 20 or an Equilibrium 2015 10 disc for £999, I do fancy disc brakes, i do a lot of braking and wearing out rims and the work scheme only goes up to £1,000. And even the 'entry level' frame on the 10 has to be plenty good enough for me for commuting I think

My three bikes:

• GT Agressor XC3
• Dawes Discovery 301 and
• Genesis Croix De Fer

They are all sulking under their duvet covers as they are up for sale for:

• A new bike for my wife
• Money towards 2016 holiday and
• upgrading the Genesis to another cx bike with better gearing and more relaxed geometry.

There are no issues with them at all so feel rather smug as it is a rarity. Just wish the weather would brighten up so my newest edition to the stable a Cannondale trail 7 can be ridden.

It needs a new crankset, a new chain and a new cassette. I've had all the required parts for about a month now, but am still squeezing a few more miles out of the old parts... as I is a tight fisted northerner.

Slight creak when I'm putting any power through the cranks. Checked the BB, no play, checked the cranks, bolts are all tight. Pedals are tightened. Don't have a proper crank tool though so gonna grab one tomorrow and check the cranks are tight enough.

Threadbare cloth bartape, kink in front rim, very worn chainring, nose of saddle broken off (got some Sugru for that), rusty SPDs.

Well, I've had the front wheel rebuilt, ordered some bar tape and a chainring (the current one could be used to saw through planks, against the grain).

SPDs will have to stay rusty.

Tyres worn to the protection belt. Just replaced them

The rear gear cable has a big nick in it where I managed to wrap it round a jockey wheel yesterday. Lord knows how. Today, I broke the end off a valve stem as I took off my track pump. The bikes pretty dirty too. Please don't tell @ianrauk.

My Boardman hybrid has a knackered headset so is off the road until closer to winter when I will want to use it and sort out the repair

Merida carbon bike is perfect as is the Genesis Equilibrium but that should be - I only finished building it 2 days ago!

It's in the garage, I'm in the house writing this, and it's raining outside
