2. Thread tonight.
When I was looking at my rear brake I thought I was not looking properly. My conrod seemed to have a funny shape. Lying under the bike with light the conrod had cracked fully on the right side. I do not know when this might have happened and how long I had been going round with just half a conrod linkage.
I ordered a new one, put extra grease into the bearing which seemed economically filled with grease, fitted it and the bike rides o.k. - no different from a couple of days ago when I noticed the cracked conrod.
Is this a common thing or was I just unlucky.
