Right. Those of you looking at the Hex head section will know I've had some fun with my rear tyre. That was all sorted with a new one
I've just got to the French side of the tunnel (well 1hr ago). Felt something odd. Thought "not a friggin puncture, again?!".
No it isn't. The bloody FD big bearing has gone!!!
I have a replacement bearing and seal with me plus tools. And I'm right next to a bmw car dealers that has a workshop.
Right now the recovery outfit is due here in 15-20min. I explained the two things I would welcome is a decent hammer and a source of heat.
So let's see. This could be fixed in the next couple of hours, unless I discover the debris has done some damage.
But I got no warning at all that there was anything amiss...it's only 3yrs old and about 20k miles.
I just need to be in Turin by Friday! Arghhhhh
