Not happy
Last week, at the end of a ride, I noticed a broken spoke on my rear wheel. I was unable to get to my usual bike shop so I put it in for repair at a well know bike shop asking them to check the wheel and tighten up any other spokes needing adjustment. Picked it up midweek but didnt inspect the work and went for a ride yesterday starting at Duckholes track. I was 10 minutes into the ride when disaster struck; i elected to change gear from middle to large ring which was followed by alarming noises.

I (Edward Spikey Hands) am withdrawing from the Dirtyworks and have my 100km entry up for grabs.
First to PM me with (a) an offer of $1,000 or (b) an offer of the face value of the entry + the brand of my current full suss bike (the info is on this site), gets the prize.
Cheers! Morgan
Hawkeye off the bike for awhile...
Hi guys. Looks like I'm off the bike for at least a month. I spent an entertaining evening in Manly hospital's A&E last night after doing a digger just past the Manly Dam trail's 19th Hole, dislocating my left shoulder.
The frustrating thing is it was a bit of trail I've ridden dozens of times that's hardly what you'd call technical. I got a bit off line, ran over a rock, dropped the wheel down the other side and - bang - over I went. Landed hard on the back of the left shoulder with a sickening crunch. I'm thinking maybe I tensed up and inadvertently grabbed some front brake.
