On my home from work last night and a few times when starting to pedal the hub didn’t engage cranks just spun, lots of cracks and bangs and i nearly came off a couple of times when trying to put the power down!!
The bike, 2004 GT Avalache, is pretty old now and it’s not just the wheels that need replacing really. so i’m thinking of spending the moeny on getting a new complete bikem maybe cycle to work scheme, rather than rplacing worn parts on a not particularly great bike. I’m thinking hardtail 29er for commuting, rides with the kids and general XC duties. but in the mean can i fix the old wheel cheap while i think about it (reason with the wife!!) 🙂
