Dis Stressed



A cautionary photo above.

My stem, uncrashed, but a couple of years old. On Thursday I had a creaking sound, Sunday it was constant annoyance. I thought BB, or pedal. Pulled the bike to bits, well, those offending parts, still no obvious signs and all the bearings were peachy.

Cleaned the bike and noticed this, it has happened quite quickly, and left me pretty shaken.

The wider community has cast various theories wide as to the why. Reasons include:-
Too many Pies
Too many Custard Squares
Too much lateral force (walking up steep hills)
Too much home baking

There may be some truth in it.

Anyway, Day fourteen and a song that no one would expect me to love.
