I’m known for having a rat bike, however it never let’s me down. All bits work as they should even if they look a little “tired”.
However yesterday the main pivot bearing had had enough, groaning and creaking under my fat ass! Had some old ones knocking around at work which the young labourer threw in the skip only yesterday 👿 gave him a bollocking and got him rooting around in there. Bingo found several, two of the correct size. Now for a bearing press, pfft I’ve just fashioned one out of a perfectly cut piece of Mdf architrave and a claw hammer. It worked I’m riding again. 8)

I am not known for my bike cleaning or maintenance either. I made the mistake of washing the bike on Sunday and last night it was making some awful noises.

I think I have learnt my lesson, I wont be washing the bike again 😆
