Now then… i don`t mean riding into a bog or thick gloopy stuff and getting stuck. I mean Mud mud that has actually stopped the wheels moving…..
Yesterday afternoon, coming down Latrigg. A cheeky trail through the trees only to find the logging machins have been in….a fairly steep descent following massive catterpiller track ruts. Quite enjoyable they were, jumping over logs and branches etc and only covering the brakes for control…with thick sticky mud flying everywhere…Only to find the bike slowing a little, i released the brake levers and still slowed… so a few pedal strokes were in order which made no difference at all. Looking down i can only describe what was a small football sized clump of mud jammed aginst the rear seat stay tube and round the front mech/ bottom bracket, totally jamming the rear wheel 😯
Any one ever had this ❓ bearing in mind we were oing down a reaonable gradient……..
And didnt have the camera to take a shot!!!!! 🙄
