This bad boy arrived in the post today!

I lost one of my old plastic cable clips for the Falcon today, so I have invested in some stainless steel ones.

These arrived for me from Pearson’s today, a birthday present from a very good friend 👍

The Allen keys are very fancy and weighty!

The colour coding is a good idea

Been down the LBS and emerged with new inner tubes, a set of brake blocks, a set of brake cables, a small pot of light cadmium red enamel paint, a crank puller and a freewheel removal tool.

That's what I call a successful trip!

If only I could find the stuff I need in stock, it's getting really hard to find specific parts such as a replacement novatec hub axle or shimano mineral oil in amounts less than 1ltr

LOL yeah!

The best bit is the free advice. I'm good with parts, but there's no substitute for asking someone "is this the right tool to do X?"

Payday?

Payday?

No. Just a few bits to get started on a project that I bought on Friday. Well, beyond what I can do with a scrubbing brush, elbow grease and plenty of hot, soapy water...

Ordered a shiny silver alloy stem cap from Kapz to match my shiny new alloy stem and handlebars. The old black one just looks wrong

My new stem cap arrived yesterday. The guy I ordered it from (Kapz) phoned a couple of days ago to say he wasn’t happy with the finish of the polished alloy and suggested doing it in stainless steel or titanium instead. I plumped for steel and he did it for free, sending me both the alloy and the steel version. Extremely happy with the product and the service. As it happens, I slightly prefer the shiny, more ‘distressed’ alloy version - matches the rider!

Picture of it fitted to appear shortly on the fettled thread...

I gave my new (to me) bike 2 x new tyres and tubes - Continental GrandPrix 5000 700C x 25 ... they look lovely and my very helpful LBS assured me it’ll be a much more comfy ride with them fitted ... can’t wait to get out on them now !. The tyres were supposed to be €50 each and the tubes €9 each + fitting and they kindly charged me €100 fitted .... no receipt of course !

yep but out of stock, why finding replacement parts for an in stock current hub model is weird, right now its looking like i'll have to buy a complete new hub from China if i want to save the wheel, well i guess i also get a new hub body as well for the price.
