Commute home in decent time given the wind, felt squirrelly so I decided to tackle the Hovland ride.
Made it to the turn around point in exactly an hour pushing into heavy wind 12.5 to 13 miles. Dani showed up earlier than the rescue time I set up so I took the opportunity for a ride home in the car. I was going to tell her to turn around andgo home that I was on time with the ride and all was well but when I unclipped my left foot something shot off my pedal.
It was the end cap thingy that seals off the outter bearing.
Then noticed the pedal rocking a little.
Looked at the right side pedal.... same issue.
They are not "destroyed" yet but I cant rely on them for any more longer rides since the ottuer bearing on both seems to be blown out. At least they are the cheapos that came with the bike.
It also explains the creaky grind noise that pops up and had me fearing the bottom bracket was roached.
Yay new pedals for me.
