What Have You Fettled Today?

[threebikesmcginty]

Bent the front mudguard on my commuter bike recently so just fitted a new one using the fixings from the old one which had already been bent around to suit the disc brake.

This was achieved using:

• Tool kit
• Kitchen as workshop
• Mug of tea
• Rock and roll on the stereo
• Minimum swearing

Mug of Tea is essential !

Erm, gave the bike a quick wipe with a wet wipe this am.

Pumped up my tyres.

This was achieved using:

A track pump.

A quick job, but I still had a brew to get over it.

I adjusted the angle of my front light.

This was achieved using:

Nothing really, I just moved it with my hands, didn't even get them dirty.


No cup of tea available as I was riding at the time, although one was had later.

Nothing and hoping it stays that way TBH

Last night (as posted elsewhere) I fettled as follows:

I've just fitted to the old TCR:

1 x 52T Ultegra chainring
1 x 42T Ultegra Chairing
1 x 12-25 Tiagra block (OK, at £15 it was a bargain c/w £40 for Ultegra and a 20g saving)
1 x KMC Chain

Then a wipe-over with an oily rag.
Then as the rear brake cable was sticking, I dismantled the rear cabling, cleaned and replaced (blimey aren't STI levers complex ....).
Then...
Fitted my new 'Magicshine' and went for a test-ride.

2 bottles cold yellow beer consumed plus 1 veg stir-fry.

Get on with that kitchen - you finished it yet ? Will you be allowed to go to your own doo on Saturday yet ?

I am always impressed by anyone who can fettle with minimum swearing. Unfortunately it's the most used tool in my box.

 

[colly]

I pumped up me tyres with a compressor using a little bit of kit from Lidl. Not bad for a tenner.

I adjusted the gears on my wife's MTB this afternoon.
This was achieved using:

[fossyant]

Yeah cheers for that.
