I arrived early on Warlingham Green on Saturday and had time to take this photo of my bike resting on the memorial |
Normally, I'm a little late and it's Andy waiting on the Green, but this weekend, the good weather prompted me to leave on time. This shot taken prior to heading towards Merstham via Gangers Hill.
Jon's broken right pedal – who said Konas were tough mountain bikes? |
Andy attempts to fix Jon's pedal outside of Hunger's End in Merstham, Surrey |
Andy tried to take Jon's old and broken pedals off but it wasn't possible. Jon later told me he'd go to Halford's and get it repaired – so, new pedals on Saturday, Jon? Or, as dad might have said, "New pedals, Jorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrn?"
sadly, some components are not the best, but even the expensive ones can break as they are sometimes machined to make them lighter.
ReplyDeleteI remember riding a racing bike 20km with only one pedal and my left leg doing all the work...ouch!
