Thankfully for my sanity the chain arrived a day early. Not sure why they even bothered telling me yesterday evening (Wednesday) that the chain would arrive between 1200 & 1300 on Friday when it must have already been in their depot for delivery today (Thursday). So, I got the new chain fitted and I’m still getting grinding noises from my rear end and that’s not down to eating too much cabbage.
Took the bike down to visit my friendly local cycle mechanic, assuming that I had managed to mess up the indexing in some way. But he thinks that there is something wrong with either the derailleur or the hangar (the bit that the derailleur hangs on), he’s offered to have it in for a couple of hours this coming week and hopefully I can find out what the issue is. He did say because the indexing is fine, I’m unlikely to damage anything so I’m hoping to get out on my bike over the weekend, though the weather is to turn manky again. Don’t mind rain or wind but can we just have one or the other please?
I have managed a grand total of zero hours of writing today, which is somewhat annoying, but my muse decided that it would take the day off. I know muses are traditionally not Its but mine is. I’m hoping that I can get some more done tomorrow morning while the world sleeps if I can get to bed in the next fifteen minutes.
I did get some pictures taken today but not really pictures to put on here, I need to document my bike and bits for my insurance, so they have a record of what I have before it gets nicked… I’m a little paranoid about that, and still occasionally dream about some of my earlier bikes being nicked. If it happens anything like it does in the dreams though I probably have to be semi-naked and cycling in America. Which seems to be a theme for my weird dreams. 😀
Anyway, this is not supposed to be a-post-a-day blog, so I will stop writing rubbish now and go to bed.
