I decided to try out my camera and ended up snapping my chain

No idea Darren , chain was and has been lubed with a Scottoiler , adjusted correctly , no signs of wear anywhere , not even a year old and the plate sheared directly in the middle and not around the pins . You couldn`t even pull it away from the sprocket very far at all so it wasn`t worn and the sprockets are ploished but not hooked or unevenly worn . I would send it back but I know it would be a waste of postage as they will have a scientific reason for getting out of it like "you took it out of the packet"

It was cos you swore at the Micra

Today the postman brought to my home a nice shiny set of naff all , that`s a weekend wasted , suppose they will turn up on Monday with my new C/S kit <------ Much Glummage

close call that :S

ps i want ure helmet ! lol

Postman arrived eventually today , the Poor Badgeress had waited in all day after her nightshift . She collected me from work and then scarpered so she could get some kip . I whipped off the front Sprocket and slung the new one on and was getting ready to put the worm actuator mechanism back in when I discovered .............. the damage . It`s only gone and sheared the Clutch push rod , absolutely gutted , ordered a new one from Robinson`s Foundry for £8 ...... but what a pain in the arris this is gonna be with no bike . The Badgeress can`t take me to work every day so I guess the Mountain Bike and train commute will have to start again .

no rear wheel lockup, no pillon, not 300+ miles from home, not overtaking a caravan with oncoming cars
badger must try harder
in fairness i should have been there to give you a lift back for the pub

Lend me yer Horse mate
