I’ve stopped bleeding now. Didn’t mean to be melodramatic. My bike threw me off when the pawls of the freewheel failed/broke/slipped as I jumped out onto a roundabout and spun when they shouldn’t. Ouch. Gravel burns in the usual places. At least I’m not too old to bounce yet.
The real sod of it is that I had the stuff from Wiggle to fix the problem delivered this morning. I have, of course, fixed it now. At the moment it’s cheaper to bleed than buy a new bike.
