The bike is on the operating table right now, in Orleans. Could have a - wait for it - broken pawl. Stay tuned!

8 months agoBe well, Suzanne! Thank you Janos for the video :)
8 months agoAh, that seems to be a 12 speed and quite different from mine. Two bike shops today said they had no time to look at it, and besides if it is working now then what do I expect them to do?
So tomorrow we leave the known world of Loire a Velo and strike off cross country to Chartres, on some algorithm generated track! Could end up walking ... it's 81 km.
So glad you're feeling better and found such a wonderful place and family to aid your recovery! I really enjoyed the videos Janos
8 months agoGot the dope now: it's a Shimano MT410-B rear hub. I'm not sure about the definition of the part, but the translation I found was retaining pawl. (Freilauf Sperrklinke in German). It works on the principle of a ratchet. Janos says it usually costs about 30 Euros and is easy to replace, no need for a new wheel.
