Do I look like a people person to you?
WHEW !!!
On my way to work this morning I nearly had a bad thing happen.
Came around a corner,, I was running around 60 or so and all of a sudden the ass end whipped out.
I had thought it was just something on the road but then I heard chain slapping,,so I knew something else had happened.
After I pulled over and got to looking I saw that the left block for the chain tensioner had fallen out and the rear wheel had gone crab on me.
Luckily I had some tools (40 year old bike you better carry tools) and there was just enough of the bolt that I could run it onto the axle plate to keep the rear wheel from crabbing again.
The pucker factor was a 7 out of 10.
Now I will redo the whole chain tensioner thing,, gonna get rid of those "pull" brackets and do something that "pushes" the rear wheel back to keep the chain snug.
