Could also try deliberately dropping the chain off the front chain rings (so its not driving the rear wheel) and then turning the crank, if it still grinds it proves its nothing to do with the rear wheel and gears.

I ordered the cheap puller and bb tool you suggested. Dropped the chain earliet and it both grinds and won't free wheel backwards still. Pedals don't feel loose.

Cheers for your assistance, all.

Seatpost in my bike is both too low and seized again. Stupid, stupid, fucking thing. Half tempted to try and get a new hardtail on the 0% drip, although I suspect MrsA will have words to say about that. mostly "rent" and "fuel bill"

Being a responsible grown up sucks. You'll learn this one day.

Oh cider, I do love you, but I feel it's a very one sided relationship.

Another interview. Got caught in heavy traffic on my way down but was only three minutes late. Felt flustered as a result (I didn't even get to play my official pre-interview marching song, the New Pornographers' 'Use it' as I dashed down the road) but gave it my best shot. Hope they didn't notice the slight gunpowder stains on my hands. Still, onto the next one.

Me too, sure you did good.

Um, you did remember to change out of uniform, as well?

Then again, if someone turned up to a job interview as a Union soldier, I'd feel oddly compelled to give them the job. Support the veterans!

Wow that was an interesting 9 days.

Went on an under 14's rugby tour as a responsible adult (yes I know). The theme was Hawaiian, so grass skirt, Hawaiian shirt and club socks. in Mumbles with the rain. Was a great weekend, the club put a band on which were great, much drinking (not the kids), dancing and games were done. My voice finally came back on Thursday last week. :DD

I then was on a course from hell, Interim and Practitioner in Enterprise Architecture. It was as bad as it sounds, I was confused from day one and the exams were not good.

Chester zoo is great

Just remember, everything can be fixed by the proper use of Dilithium crystals as long as you reverse the polarity.

I once got a bollocking, for telling this silly sales women (at a company I used to work for) to ask the customer if his Dilithium crystals were in the right way round.

It's a lesser known fact that black mathematicians are excellent swimmers.

I bought Ridge Racer Unbounded the other day and have just put in my code for free cars and paint jobs. Once I've entered it though, it's saying that the code has already been redeemed.

To be honest mate, the bonus cars are more or less almost useless anyway IMO, with the sole exception of the "Immortal", which is a Super Class car. That means it can only be used in very few career mode races, though I'm not sure about online.

I was most gutted about losing the Pacman paint job to be honest.. I've emailed Namco to see what they can do anyway, so I'll let you know what happens.

I'm guessing they'll tell me to send it back to where I got the game from and I don't know if I can be bothered with that.
