Bike serviced back in November came back today - it needs another new chain. It hasn't been cleaned or lubed since I had it last and has been ridden nearly every day. The rear mech has almost seized up around the main pivot and all the cable adjusters are seized up. It was very dirty and greasy - rubber glove territory!
I think if it had been cleaned the chain may have lasted substantially longer and a bit of lube every now and then would have stopped things seizing up.
But I can now look forward to rebuilding a resprayed Orange Five full suspension bike - though the choice of fluorescent yellow instead of black wouldn't have been my first choice of colours!
