That's less than a year old Camag Veloce, isn't it.
If that's the case, the shop will sort it, no probs.
If not, is it 'hollowtech'?, basically can you see straight through from one pedal arm to the other?

Yes, that's the one. I got it from Evan's Cycles in the summer on Ride2work, a scheme I couldn't recommend highly enough. I'll give the branch I got it from a ring and see what they can do! Not too sure about the hollowtech, I would have to report back later on that.
In fairness if it is HT you're in trouble.
Fingers crossed it's not, and it's a regulation bottom bracket:-
Evans should sort it, and assuming you haven't clocked up x amount of 1000's of miles since the summer, they shouldn't charge.
Don't let it get problematic because 'can we fix it, yes we can', but you'll need specific tools.
So making a point could get pricey.
I had to do the shopping...
The cricket was on...
There was a little bit of rain...
You'll be telling us next that you had to catch up on ironing your bedding.
Squeak squeak!

Ass, tits, bollocks!!! Just gone to check the mountain bike over before riding it to work tomorrow and where the back wheel was held in the shed by bungees they've banana'd it. Guess me/Dad are stronger than the wheel rim!

Oh well, proper race bike put together, with un-fettled gears. Could be some interesting shifting going on tomorrow.

Bradley Wiggins or Chris Froome: who should be Tour team leader? – poll | Sport | guardian.co.uk
You decide, i really hope Dave makes up his mind prior to the night before!

You know dave, it'll be meticulously planned, assessed and reassessed from the final day of this year's tour to the first day of next year's!
It's only Froome's health stopping the definitive answer.
Remember he didn't make the tour team until the 11th hour.

Well there were some interesting shifts and non-shifts going on, but even with that to cope with I was still 3 minutes quicker on my Scott than my Peugeot. Not bad over a 15 minute (well 12 now) slightly up hill journey.

It's a lot closer that I thought it would be, and in the opposite direction. Maybe Guardian readers may know something about cycling (if nothing about current affairs).

Just when you thought life couldn't get any more boring, I do this to you.
Here's the updated saddle with new bracket, as they are only a tenner. I figured if that part looks a bit cacky you're not going to trust it.
Judging by the first look at the photos the before/after shots don't seem to different.
But the saddle is now certainly a lot cleaner and definitely a lot more tactile.
I've now got to stop myself from 'over dubbing' or else I'll keep going until I've turned it into a sponge!
You're going to properly hate me for this.
As the saddle was next to me I started giving it another rub!
Turns out I may well have been a bit keen with the photos, as the rubbing is bringing it up a treat!

Seriously, it looks a lot better now.
Yeah the photo hasn't done it justice.
I hadn't anticipated after a good rub in then rub down, it would still take a while to 'dry'.
I'm a little miffed that making it nice, with clear products, has darkened it a bit.
