Heard a weird sound yesterday while riding about - sort of a, "clunk clunk" type of deal. "Hmm...", I thought, "That sounds weird - maybe it's the chain, or the bottom bracket. I hope it's not the BB, cause that would suck..."

I went about my ride merrily, making a mental note to give the bike a once-over to see if I could find the noise. My first thought was actually - maybe the water bottle cage got loose or something and was hitting the frame.

So, checked the chain, it was cool. Checked thr crank - cool. Clean the wheel - checked *that*, just fine - little tight, but easily fixable and then, when setting the chain tension again, I noticed a big crack in the chainstay. I took a double take, thinking it may just be the paint flaking off or dirt from a sticker or the like, but, nope it's def. a cracked chainstay. A pity.

Never had problems with the Surly Steamroller before and this whole explanation isn't meant as a diss to Surly - far from it. Just something that happened, unexpectantly. Only got 6 months out of the frame (bought used), but must have traveled 2500 - 3000 miles and completed my first century and double metric century on it - all on 42 x 14 gearing (3:1)
