In the early 1900s the motoring industry had a bad image, deaths were high and motorists were seen as rampaging monsters with no care for human life. Because of this the uptake of new motorists was…Continue

Simple band aid would be take out that link and drop in a connex link ( or ask at your lbs for a no name copy at about a third of the price...) Worth having one or two of…"

"Shimano CN-6701
Thought so! I've heard stories about this type of failure on the Ultegra chains. I just replaced my first 6700 chain after 5500km (no signs of cracking), onto my second one. I have a 6701 chain in my spare parts inventory,…"

"Give it a go. What do you have to lose?
You may even find that just shortening the chain by simpling taking buffing out that one link will work fine."

"only done 1400km on this one and a new chain required. Or can I use some spare links from the left overs from this chain?"

I'll start this stating that I've always liked cycling. My father bought me the bike he wanted to have when he was younger, I wanted a dragster. My first bike was a Peugeot racer, learnt to ride on it and used it for everything, while my mates were sliding through corners in the dirt I was doing the same corners at speed, leaning hard and loving the speed.…

Rob Berry said… Sorry for the delay, I've been traveling - yup, I'm working there Monday and Friday afternoons (when I'm in the country), couldn't pick a better place to work in Sydney.
Unfortunately I'm going to miss my planned comeback ride - was expecting to get back to Australia on the 12th in time to ride on the 13th, but I actually leave for Australia on the 12th and don't get back until 7am on the 13th so I'm not going to be making the start line. :( It will need to wait at least a week or so before I do another brevet.
