My rear hub froze and the chain did not engage! I was pedaling but not going anywhere. Was able to coast down a couple of hills and walked the rest to work. I left it out in the sun and it seems to be back to normal now. Will have to bring it in for the night to thaw out properly.<BR/><BR/>g.Papa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11182649975084429433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572555494322710549.post-18708131419053841402009-01-15T08:21:00.000-05:002009-01-15T08:21:00.000-05:00You are hard core man...or crazy.
