    turns out the conical washer
    turns out the conical washer inside the hub had worked loose, causing the shifting mechanism to fail. who knew?

    actually sturmey archer knew, and they sent me a nice powerpoint with step-by-step instructions on how to fix it. and now it’s fixed. so well done them đŸ™‚

    incidentally they’d also have been happy for me to send it back for a replacement, but i decided to fiddle with it.

    i ended up on the 110k, riding with a mate who’d never done more than 40k in his whole life. so chapeau to him for getting round. My kisckshift stopped shifting after about 90km which made the last bit more interesting (and frustrating) than it might have been…

    saw that jon burrage too, and the chaps from Cyclist #1…
