At last, a good excuse!
Seized bearings!
For some time my Saturday racing has been even worse than I expected it to be. I didn't think to check the bike, after all I keep getting faster during sprints. But, on Saturdays I use my old wheels, for sprints I use the bling bits. Adam needed to borrow a wheel on Sunday so I passed him my old back wheel, only to have him say "I'm not using this, it's seized!" or words to that effect.
Sure enough, it was. I guess it had been like that for some time. It could be turned, but not by hand at the axle. Very tight indeed. Hrm.
I put new bearings in it today and set the locknuts correctly which might help a bit! Look out Dino, I may get a km/h faster in our warmups now the bike hasn't got the brakes on. Woohoo!
