18 years of riding, 4 bikes & numerous rear cassette's/ chains I've never had anything except grass in-between the cogs. It's got to be down to the grit finish on some of the cycle paths & footpaths. The mud and puddles are better surface for bikes.

Dealer not interested.
Bike sold...

Dealer's response, "its broke". We will replace it at a charge of £70 but will fit it for free. Just posted complaint to the manufacturer see how that...
