Philip, it was smart of you to crack your Trek frame because at least you have a warranty. I am managing to break everything else. My plan was to get some mil in my legs and also work in the new Continental X King Racesport which is fantastic little piece of engineering. With one front and back now I am not sliding at all, period.

But today there were tons of noises and when I reached the running trail up at Furulund I felt the first signs of a busted bottom bracket. It is just not smooth anymore. You techie types can diagnosis the other problem. I have a clicking sound on every rotation of the pedals and it is much louder uphills when I put my massive leg strength into it. But with normal pedalling it is either silent or a faint click. I can't seem to figure it out but I have to now.

I have to have a serious think about my little Farrisrunden excursion next week which I was purely doing for the training value and to spurt passed a few Norwegians at the finish line again.
