We had a break in the weather this morning, so I went out with the intention of doing just over 30 miles, however, 9 miles in and my gears broke, and I was stuck on the small front cog, with only 4 usable gears, without rattling on the front mechanism, so had to head for home and only did 18 miles.

I was expecting to have to adjust the high or low screws to fix it (Shimano Dura Ace set up) but it just was not happening. I had to resort to Youtube and had to use an Allen key to completely alter the alignment with the front cog, it had somehow moved and wasn’t anything like parallel - it wasn’t loose, so no idea what happened there.

All sorted now, but it has been raining on and off all afternoon, so could not test it under load - thank goodness for the work stand, as it makes doing this sort of thing much easier.
