This is a DROP Ride

Sometimes you pick a route because the wind is blowing that way. Kanan and Encinal are not my favourite roads, especially not climbing Kanan through the tunnels. So I roped my friends into coming with me, knowing all they really wanted to do was descend Encinal. Along the way we lost half the gang, but this is road cycling - we hurt each other then stand around and chat like it never happened. Alex wasn't enjoying the crosswinds in a group and bailed early. Taylor had been suffering for a few weeks with the dry air we get this time of year, and his heart almost exploded on the main climb. We also found out he had a slow leak!

@zmeeds17 Жыл бұрын

@@untamednme869 it could be a number of different things. From the sounds of it, it seems to be coming from the crank/bottom bracket area.

@@dietherviado sooooo many customers that would come in with a creaky "bottom bracket" and about 50% of the time it was coming from somewhere other than there. Headset, seatpost, rear wheel not tight enough, creaky spokes, just to name a few. Worst were those you thought you found the creak and got rid of it, give the bike back to the customer and they come back a week later and say it is back again. "Well, we know it wasn't "x" part now. On to the next part to diagnose." 🤣
