| My bicycle being repaired. |
One day left till the big cycling event. But suddenly, after just a light afternoon cycling with my eldest son, my bicycle's gearing broke down. The rear gear started making grating noises in the low gears. I immediately sent the bicycle to a bicycle shop.
At the bicycle shop, a mechanic tried to solve the problem by changing the cable for the rear derailleur, but the grinding sound persisted. Another senior mechanic then came to look at my bicycle, and he mentioned that a very small screw at the rear derailleur was missing and there was no screw with such size at the shop. The screw is used to adjust the rear derailleur for accurate shifting of gears. To compensate the missing screw, the senior mechanic cut the chain to make it slightly shorter and adjusted the rear derailleur alignment. After an hour of fiddling with my bicycle, the rough sound at the rear gears finally disappeared. In relating to tomorrow's event, that was a close call. Too close for comfort :P
