In the four hardest gears on the smallest front cog, the rear cage is misaligned and keeps clicking as if the chain wants to slip off. I got a friend to look at it but he suggests a bike mechanic needs to look at it.

I thought it would take me 6 months to commute the full distance to work every day.<br /><br />I am not scared to get back on the bike. I'd never fallen off it once until I got the SPDs. Can't wait until Sunday for the London to Brighton. It'll kill me but it'll be worth it.Toby Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03680271828637653290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-11024401069805918312010-06-14T17:06:57.624+01:002010-06-14T17:06:57.624+01:00well done, the first time I went out on SPDs I got...well done, the first time I went out on SPDs I got to the junction at the end of my street and did exactly the same thing, just gracefully tipped sideways, due to broken ankles I still do it now from time to time. I'm lucky in that I seem to just relax into it and break the bikes fall with my body. <br /><br />It's par for the course. Good luck lad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-14701947345988502312010-06-14T16:06:22.788+01:002010-06-14T16:06:22.788+01:00Good post, and all great news on your stupendous p...Good post, and all great news on your stupendous progress. Hope you're recovering from the fall, that's what puts me off SPDs, I mean I fall off enough without being attached to the pedals as well.welshcyclisthttp://www.welshcyclist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390698253856681971.post-1186306914756122482010-06-14T13:22:43.432+01:002010-06-14T13:22:43.432+01:00Bloody Nora!
