Chain's a bit...

So a lovely ride to work today on the fixer in bright winter sun.  Noticed the chain could do with a small tightening but ignored it. Another 10km pootle at lunchtime, ignored chain some more.

Stopped on the way home to help the APs with their computer. Set off on extended loop back. Got to the top of the road, went over speed bump, chain unshipped, wrapped round sprocket and chainstay in an immovable mess. Something had to give and it was the chain.

Bugger.

Pushed bike back to APs and phoned Mrs. Hall for a lift.

Late night fettling beckons.

"overhaul" it, or you can ride it.  (Jerome K Jerome)
