Why try and put eveyone off cycling over Strines by telling everyone how bad the surface is and then they go and cycle over it themself!! Very odd behaviour indeed. I agree, Phil.

Don't know what he was on about. Martyn - you are forgiven. 1,000 miles alone is a long way. Phil - I have to take my hat off to you for the breakfast you ate. But it was wasted - it would have got you over the Strines, easy; gravel or no gravel. There was NO gravel - absolutely none! Don’t know what he was on about.

Then shift back to the middle cog as normal. If the indexing is out, there will be a rattle at the back. Adjust the cable tension whilst in the middle cog until the rattle goes. Each and every gear will then be ok as you shift up and down. Put it on the smallest cog at the back. Then shift back to the middle cog as normal.

The loud 'crunching' sound was rather off-putting for both Jack and I. Quite pleased I didn't go over Strines when my gearing was so bad. Sounds like I missed a good ride though.
