Not a good day on the bike... 😢

Glad you turned that frown upside down. Remember the good days outweigh the bad in cycling and life. Looking great too 👍

[@petet7083]

Glad you were not seriously injured. Zoltan @Freemotion in Playa del Ingles is an absolute legend and a gentleman, he swapped out my BB bearings once when I had issues with my own bike, saved the day! Enjoy the rest of your stay.

[@philipdrewry6706]

By lifting and supporting your back wheel and pedalling backwards, if your wheel starts to turn backwards (with a slight amount of drag/delay), this is a good indicator that your free hub bearings are starting to seize.

[@patford9943]

Katie it’s your honesty and openness that make your videos so good! You’ve shared the good like All Points North and the bad with injuries or bad weather. Your tips for better lifestyle and fitness are always expressed as “this is what works for me” not “thou shalt”. I’m glad you are riding in the warm/heat after all your riding in the cold rain!

[@grahambell9831]

We've all had bike fails Katie, as you rightly point out it's frustrating. Always remaining positive, tomorrow is another day. A good mechanic & bikeshop wherever you are is worth it's weight in gold. Keep on cycling Katie ! 😊

[@DanGaskell]

Katie, I feel your pain - literally. I was out riding yesterday and I stopped to help someone and I fell while stopped. Yeah, I know! After getting up, I realized that I hurt my ribs. Yes, they are bruised and I'm off my bike for quite a while. I'm glad you're back in the saddle.

[@KatieKookaburra]

Awww Dan sorry to hear! I’ve also hurt my rib… but from straining to get a towel while I was in the swimming pool 🙈 best thing I ever was told when it comes to sore ribs… hold where it hurts and keep coughing and having deep breaths!!!

[@DanGaskell]

@@KatieKookaburra That's a tip I'll try. But I'm going to have to wait a while until I can actually stand up straight! It's a little embarrassing that I hurt myself while stopped. I should have, at least, been flying down a hill at 30mph and wiping out in a glorious ball of wreckage.

Thank you for this video. Sometimes I feel frustrated and also cry. But in many videos online people don't share these moments. And then I fell like loser because I don't think these moments happen to everyone. Because they don't share them.

[@stevenfreeman7798]

Oh bless!!. So sorry to see you upset!. My wife sends her sympathy as 3 weeks ago we were out for a ride when an bloody big alsatian dog appeared from a field and knocked my wife clean off her bike. She hurt her hip and elbow quit badly and yes was crying in the road!. Turned out the dog was friendly and wanted to play!. The farmer who owned the dog was more upset than the wife lol!.he did dash off and came back with his truck and loaded poor penny and her bike which was mostly fine and drove her home. He later appeared at our house with a massive bunch of flowers and a huge box of chocolates apparently the dog had never chased anything before so he was caught off guard!. Just goes to show you never know what can happen on a bike ride lol!. So glad you are ok.

[@candystink]

Thank you for reminding us that cycling isn’t always fun in paradise. Things can and will go wrong. I appreciate your honesty and courage, i’m sure it wasn’t easy to put up a video of you crying by the side of the road.

[@Topazman]

my freehubs have all done that and wheel bearings usually worn out as well so well worth changing all bearings, most important thing is you got back up and out on the bike with the battle scars, love that view location "Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas", cant wait to be back there in September for 2 weeks, keep the excellent blogs coming

[@markreams3192]

Because you ride frequently in wet weather the free hub should be serviced every few months. I do mine myself. It’s not really difficult once you learn. Another area of concern is the bottom bracket if you ride in wet weather a lot. Wet weather increases the need for service more frequently on most of the bicycle.

[@meneersjonnie]

After your big crash its a perfectly normal reaction.. No big deal just enjoy the weather and stay safe!😊

What I really like is that you had a problem and you got people to help you sort it out immediately. It would be good if more people could do that rather than sitting on the problem or trying to ignore it.❤

[@ericclaire-helenerfletcher9433]

from my experience at the end of a season before i start a new one i always take my bike to the shop and have all cables changed , bearings , basically a overhaul, i do switch out my chains once they stretch out ,after a few chains i will change out the cassette , makes a difference in shifting , once snapped a chain on a climb that stung, these are just bumps in the road , did have a similar problem with a cassette and hub once destroyed the hub ,bearings let go with 60km to home took a while , anyway was great to see that you had help from the people there . keep on riding

[@homies35]

I have had to take a step back and just try and enjoy any ride.After losing over 5 stones few years back i started to go slower.Thrashed myself trying to pick up the pace.Chugged along for a couple of years.Then last year ended up with bad tendon and ligament problems after a course of antbiotics.Also anxious after having suspected prostate cancer.Just get out and enjoy the ride no matter how long or short it’ll all come back together sometime

[@terjemyller6573]

Good to see that day-after-smile! There’s a certain satisfaction to service the bike, and it goes well beyond the obvious peace of mind. Took me years to get there, as I was born clumsy and scared of tech and mech, but was well worth the investment. Regarding hubs, DT Swiss is the way to go. Very reliable and extremely easy to service. Today I bought flight tickets to GC for December, been 4 years since last time 😊

[@ianmacdonald487]

Well, that made me sad to see you upset and with a banged up knee. I'm glad that you found such a good mechanic. Freehubs are prone to those problems. Some shops don't fix them, or even swap them out. I learned from another KZbin channel how to service Shimano freehubs, and have even fixed a freehub on a wheel that a shop gave us as scrap. I've seen you work on your bike, and I'm sure you can learn to do this, too. Better luck in the future!❤

[@andrewcalladine2507]

Sorry to hear this Katie, it's horrible when these things happen. Stay safe and remember there will be much better days on the bike to come 🙂

[@vicnichols3674]

Glad you're on the mend. They say if you've never fallen off then you've never ridden a bike. I've been doing it since I was four years old on a Raleigh trike, breadbin on the back. Now an expert at falling off. 65 now not fallen off for a while (luck) rather than good judgement. Might be getting the hang of it. 😊

[@ianlloyd1182]

Thanks for your ‘realness’ Katie, that’s one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel. Glad you are not badly injured, and as you know falling off and crashes are a part of riding. So may all your ‘stacks’ be little ones. Very good that you got to do the ride even though it was a day later. I guess what happened to your freehub is a good reminder to us all that preventative maintenance is important. Stay safe.

I can fully understand the frustration. I'm glad you're ok. You're very mature and graceful in handling all of this. Imagine being a man and feeling like crying in a situation where you feel super frustrated or helpless... don't have the power to control it but you can't let people notice. Ugh. I don't know why I thought of that, anyway, it's great when some time passes, you calm down and can let it go.

[@vicnichols3674]

Got new bearings then they gave up. So hard new rims Mavic gravel, new hubs DT Swiss and new j-bend spokes built by LBS Sapim stainless steel. Then sold and swapped for Alex gravel rims. Still going strong from another LBS, all serviceable

[@Wyliedawg]

I said "FREE HUB!!" out loud as soon as you described the problem. I had EXACTLY the same thing happen with the original free hub I had on my current bike in the spring of 2019. Same situation, uphill under tension the cranks would suddenly lunge forward with no resistance and you can neither anticipate it nor balance yourself when it happens. It's the "pawls" in the hub that transfer the torque you produce pedaling sticking "closed" preventing the normal physical connection between the rear mech and the wheel due to worn springs or corrosion, or in simpler terms, the hub is allowing the drive system to "free wheel" both forward AND backwards. It's a very scary feeling when you're pushing uphill, your feet are clipped in and suddenly there's zero tension on the cranks. Glad you're back on the road and OK Katie! - Bob (Toronto Canada)

[@truthseeker8483]

Did you clean your bike with degreaser and high pressure washer a lot??

[@Wyliedawg]

@@truthseeker8483 No, never, although back then I was a lot less in-the-know about just how sensitive to water ingress many areas of these machines are than they are believed to be by many, including many an online reference. The entire bike gets a thorough wipe down with a damp chamois post-ride, every ride, and a garden hose wash with biodegradable bicycle cleaner maybe 4 times a season, typically only if it gets road dirt/water sprayed on it. (I don't ride if there's been recent rain or any chance of rain!) I'm very tempted to start removing the chain entirely for cleaning/re-lubing every few hundred kms as products that clamp around the chain for cleaning I strongly believe have allowed that "gunk" to get into places it shouldn't as well. I've also seen contamination in liquid form exit the bottom bracket frame area when that has been removed for service. (A press-fit, sadly!) Bottom line seems to be there's a fine line between wear/performance issues from too much dirt/gunk through simple neglect versus over-cleaning and causing damage by being too finicky.

[@springin2tri]

I feel your pain, that really sucks we have all been there, cycling is not like running where you just put on a pair of sneakers and go. It's hard to kiss the road and not hurt. Make sure to clean your wounds with soap and water so they don't get infected. Take your time to cry it out and then move on. Sometimes I apply the ten-year rule, is it going to matter in ten years if that doesn't work add more years!

[@mickyfinn1948]

Shit happens, Katie but you're ok and that's what matters! - lovely to see you smiling again and back in the saddle, though! 👍😊

[@gquellet]

So sorry you had to go through that 😟 . The free hub can be a bit of a mystery, so I took a Park tools class at my local bike shop and now I service my own. You can do it too 😊

[@christine_penn]

Also have your cage plate on your derailleur checked. I had a very similar issue with it jumping, making climbing almost impossible in the lower gears, because it was partially bent over creating an alignment issue and constant jumping around. I (and the bike shop) didn't realize it, but it likely gotten bent when I had previously broke my hanger bolt. It worked fine in the upper gears...and I had actually raced it in some crits in that condition with no issues (but was primarily in the upper gears the whole time.) BTW, I also had to Uber back from the climbing ride. (I had to give up.) I typically have my bike checked at least once of a year. But there are always things that break unplanned. (Cables, hanger bolts, etc.) Chains and big rings are changed just about every year. The bike shop always asks me...do I ever use my lower ring? I spent more time going fast (Crits and Road races) and its not like I don't use the lower ring...but 90% of the time, I'm in the big ring....and have a tendency to wear them out much quicker. Just the way I ride I guess... Sometimes you just have bad days on the bike. It happens. You just have to take the bad with the good, and hopefully the good greatly outnumbers the bad (does for me). Sorry you had a bad day...we all have them on occasion.

Hi Katie I always use the strava gear function which essentially logs all the parts mileage on your bike ( you have to enter each part manually) obviously if you start with a complete new bike just enter that then retire and add new parts as they wear, this also gives you a good history of the parts you have changed. hope this helps.

I think you did the right thing by showing this video. It gives food for thought to think when was the last time we had our bikes checked over by the professionals. It goes to show things can easily go wrong if you don’t keep on top off it. I can index my gears, change free hubs, adjust the derailleur, change tyres and fix punctures, etc but if you’re not confident about doing this then call in the experts. I’m glad your fall wasn’t serious, I think you were more gutted and angry with yourself for not getting the course done. Take care.

As soon as you said what the problem was I knew it was the freehub, it feels like the chain is skipping but its actually not! The same thing happened to me but I got really lucky as I was less than a mile from home after a 70 mile ride when it gave out, I turned a corner and pressed the pedals and the cranks were just spinning and the wheel wasn't turning!

When dirt and grime get into your hub it can make the pawls sticky and they won’t engage. When I have my wheel off for whatever reason, I’ll occasionally check the hub. Hold your wheel by the axle (hand on either side) and give it a spin. If something is amiss you can usually feel it through your hands. Breaks my heart to see cry BTW…

[@Skw-lincs]

One of the reasons (sometimes unknown until it's too late) to NEVER use degreaser/cleaning products on the cassette when it's still ON the wheel as that will destroy your wheel hub/bearings. Always remove the cassette to clean it. Your wheel hub will last so much longer. Glad it was all sorted out though, especially abroad.

[@truthseeker8483]

Yes probably too much cleaning.....never known a freehub to fail myself

[@timcollins340]

It’s most important that you’re safe and not seriously hurt. Freehubs are invisible and vary in quality and life, so no there’s no way you could have predicted the failure especially if your servicing is up to date. Lucky you found a great mechanic!

Mavic Freehubs are very sensitive with their lube, sometimes ratchet wont catch and engage to lock it and allow you to pedal, almost worst still is if the freehub action stops because lack of lube, you cannot free wheel, its bad both ways. Mavics for you.

Take it easy, things like that can often happen, it happened to me some times to fall when the chain fell down or the freewheel "skipped", one is always suprised and too slow in releasing feet from the pedals. It's not a "natural" situation we are accustomed to. So I fell, though I was nearly still...Now, fast reaction in that case is one of the automatism I tried to teach to my nervous system. What counts is that you didn't harm yourself so much. And some tears after (and before we are sure) so many splendid smiles, well, they count even less.

[@johnroper7776]

Can empathise as I had a similar experience when my free hub failed totally just after I had climbed a steep road (Butt Hill Lane) outside of Garstang in the Bowland fells. I had absolutely no ability to pedal (chain just going round with no tension but luckily I didn't fall off) and freewheeled around 4 miles downhill to a place where I could call for assistance from my wife. Again my bike was well maintained but it's a component you can't see if likely to fail. Trust you are OK and enjoying yourself again.

Ugh! it was so painful and when I got to the top and there was a wonderful old fortress as the coffee stop so i went in to use the loo and it was just a hole in the floor - there was no way I could squat down to pee with my legs pumped up like that - so funny. But seriously - it took 3 people to figure out what was wrong with my bike and fix it.

My brother in law came over from Eire to Glasgow for a sportive and got 4 miles when his freehub chucked it, makes you think how much do you need to on the bike before travelling a distance

Fair play to ya love your honesty and we have all been there, great video made me laugh too ☘️🚴‍♂️and great lesson as I tend to wait till something happens so note to self get it serviced properly especially chain and cassette 👍and best of all aren’t people so amazing and friendly

Loving the maap Evade. Mines in the cupboard waiting for its debut. How do you find it in the heat with long sleeves?

Never commented on one of your videos before. Thought I’d just say thanks. It’s good to learn. X

I would have cried too! Makes us human! 😘 I’m glad you didn’t get hurt too much! 🥰

I feel like having a mardy cry every time I hit a slight bump in the road so no shame there! 😂 important to show the less good times to make balanced content! Awesome as always

[@mechpatt]

having a fall on a bike is a big event, so no wonder you are upset! takes a lot of work to get a bike to any destination, so it's just fuel to the disappointment pyre! very interesting problem, I've only had one problem with a freehub in 30 years, but I'll be paying more attention in the future - thanks for sharing Katie!!

Pain drips away like warm ice cream but kindness stays in our hearts forever. Way to get up, dust yourself off and keep on riding! You did it. And you’re still already there.

I hear you….frustrating and disappointing! For me it’s flat tires!
