Bicycle Noise Pollution Eliminated, NOT
Few can be interested in Crumby's trials and tribulations in the guise of, Home Bicyle Mechanic. Dun-duh-dun. Duddle-duddle-dun-dun.
Yet Crumby, plus his bosom companion, Ray, are, for the time being, the responsible parties for this particular venue. So what we do, is what's hugely important to us. And at this nonce, keeping the bikes rideable is super important.
That said. Spreading a pack of lies around the globe reflects poorly on the Druid religion. Turns out, Crumby did not fix the bike noise by oiling the rear derailleur shivs. He thought he did. But he did not. No. No. A thousand times no.
No. That low rattle could still be heard reflected off objects Crumby passed while pedaling.
However, yesterday Crumby was explaining to Rayetta how quiet her bike was compared to his. Then, of a nonce, an actual thought pinged around in Crumby's noggin. Hey! Maybe there is something visually different between those twain bikes that will explain why my bike is a noise polluter.
Sure enough. Crumby took the chain off a time or two or three. And the last time, when he routed it back through the rear derailleur, he put it on the wrong side of the cage adjacent to the top shiv. That was the difference between Rayetta's quiet bike versus Crumby's incredibly noisy bike.
But Crumby needs to wait to make sure the above was the actual or authentic issue. That's because the bike is up in the repair stand getting its front shifter cable changed out. Mercy! The old cable got all frayed. Possibly because Crumby may have not known about the little pinch mechanism groove the cable is supposed to reside in. Well. Now he does.
Sadly, the WG is fixing to punish Crumby for lying in the first place. Even though, Crumby has now atoned for his lying or sinful ways. Just another way the Druid religion handicaps its practitioners compared to "practitioners" of some other well-known religions some might name.
