Is it right on the sea front

I think it's on a lake somewhere in the Chew Valley BA?

 

[Billy Adam]

Thats up near Chilly Hill

 

[Billy Adam]

must be on the other side

It's to be hoped the new T3 owners aren't too wobbly when they leave with their new purchase. Could end up with giving their pride and joy it's first thorough wash!
Looks nice though.

You might just need to adjust the front stop screw

It's very easy to tinker with the gears to get good

Will they be playing at the grand opening.

Nope, that'll be left to The Wurzels, who're already booked to play their classic (no YouTube clip sorry):

DOWN IN NEMPNETT THRUBWELL​

​

If you find life a race, you just can't stand the pace,​

Come with me to the West Country - the perfect hiding place:​

Pack your bags, and make your way to Somerset, and I will lay​

Ten to one you'll wanna stay down in Nempnett Thrubwell.​

There's not a pub, there ain't a shop, you never see a traffic cop​

Drink up, and no-one says "stop", down in Nempnett Thrubwell.​

That's where the cider's strong, the days, forty-eight hours long​

They've got frogs as big as dogs, that harmonise in song​

The pheasants all take part in shoots, the big barn owls don't give two hoots, ​

All the fleas wear hobnail boots, down in Nempnett Thrubwell.​

​

Now they don't care for house or car, as long as they've a cider jar​

They've never heard of Ringo Starr, down in Nempnett Thrubwell. ​

You never hear of rain or snow, no hail or sleet, or rough winds blow​

You can hear the grasses grow, down in Nempnett Thrubwell.​

​

Rabbits there as big as sows, the hens there look the size of cows​

All the pigs do Irish jigs, and pigeons pull the ploughs ​

So leave me there, let me grow fat, and live and laugh, and after that ​

Bury me in a cider vat, down in Nempnett Thrubwell.​

Sleepy Nempnett Thrubwell, dear old Somerset.​

I never knew Michael Stipe was a cycle mech. Maybe things are a little tight since REM packed it in.

Hello All,

I have a Triban 3 and have been lurking around this thread since I found it.
I've checked my hubs for grease which there seem there is plenty present. Since I've put it all back together again I dont think the rubber gaitor that encloses the hub fits as close as it used to. Does this look like it's set too far out?
Any closer and there's a lot of friction.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.

Not taken mine apart yet but just had a look and mine is a snug fit together with no gap.

You've not put it back on right. The little lip just inside the cone end of the gaitor should go under and just expose the locknut. The gaitor should then make a seal at the bearing end.
