i bought the iron maiden on july of last year. it came with a one year warranty including free tune ups for that period. i kept thinking that i'd take it in for a free tune up just before the warranty expired. well, i kept procrastinating and never got around to it. rats.
this morning it started jumping in and out of the small sprocket on the rear wheel. that's the gear i most often use so i don't heppy. if you're riding standing up and the chain slips the results can be painful, real painful.
luckily i was able to fix the problem but i would have far more confidence if the repair was done by a professional. not to mention i got my hands real dirty. i'm going to smell like varsol for the next day or so.

Yikes! I sure hope you did it right. That's a bad spot for bruising!
Great song choice.
I had that problem on the Spirit of Oxnard.
Turns out there was a broken tooth on the sprocket.
Ratz!
My new found bike is running smoothly.
Great music post. Thanks!
I've had plenty of problems with plenty of bicycles. I have not had problems with rats, only mice.
i was informed that my computer was sending out automated messages. this was news to me. what in the hell was i sending out??
Nothing, it was just them being paranoid, but I suppose they have a reason to be on this planet.
But if you want to check your computer for malware and get rid of it for free, go to malwarebyes and download their free program, it works real good, I run it once a week.
But haven't picked up any since installing the paid for AVG, for five bucks a month the paid for version is worth every penny.
Those turtles sure are smart. I always forget to get my bike tuned up until I get a slipped gear and a bruised beaver.
so? your back to pedaling your ass all over town?
Funny how the timing on those warranties works.
i be heppy, my repair job seems to be working.
Yikes, Hoe the fix holds. And glad Blogger released you.

Definitely painful. I still have nightmares from doing it as a child. Hope the Iron Maiden is running smoothly and your plumbing is no longer in immediate danger
