Earned a few new skills today, giving the road bike a bit of a refresh. Decided to tackle it myself.
Big chainring, Cassette, Chain, Jockey wheels.
Gear cables - 105 - glad I wasn't attempting it in the dark.
Brake cables - easy.
Bar tape - did run out a bit sooner than I'd planned - it'll be better next time!
For a 4 year old bike, ridden in all weathers in all seasons, the only cable that seemed like it needed replacing was the rear gear cable, slightly frayed at the STI end. The rest seemed to be in no poorer condition than their replacements. But it all looks good. Nice and white!
