FFS yet another snapped chain link on the 29er - this is the 2nd time on this chain in under 2000 miles and that's without any strenuous riding. Thankfully it went in town so I was able to push out the broken link and attach another quick link.
See the picture below - you can see where one side is bent and the other which gave way.

A bit more work on the Woodrup this evening; first I took the Dura-Ace 7900 front brake off my NeilPryde Bayamo TT bike after today's time trial, swapping that for a Dura-Ace 9000 brake. Carbon / aluminium pads swapped as well.
Then that front brake went onto the Woodrup so they now match. Also, I've added a Dura-Ace 9000 bottom bracket and a Dura-Ace 7900 crankset's on plus Dura-Ace 9100 pedals. Rather than the grey/silver cable outers which were there I've gone for red because a) I already have 30 metres of red gear cable outer and b) buying 2 metres of red brake outer was cheaper than an entire set of outers in silver. If I don't like them then I'll go back to silver or do them in white instead. Brake outer/inners done but I'm leaving the gear cables until fully awake tomorrow. Then it's chain and bar tape. There may also be a bottle cage change for something similarly aged but with red bits on. Progress photo:
Edit: I've noticed the front wheel is a different way round to the rear in the photo. It isn't now!

reset the front shifter on the yellow boardman as it was not shifting up and if i increased cable tension it was rubbing on the easiest gear so i loosened the cable and id it from scratch , then a bit of fine tuning to the latest build after a shake down ride as the rear low stop needing tweaking and the saddle needed to go 5 mm forward

Changed the worn down CN-HG53 after less than 2000km (despite at least weekly care with new lube and twice a week wiping off the oily grime) with a waxed new chain on the commuter. Fortunately on the first glance and and a short test ride the rest of the drivetrain is still in useable condition.
And while cleaning the rims I noticed that on the rear wheel:
... on at least 15 places, all on the right side of the (not so much tensioned) drive side spokes. The 16. place - of which I suspect to look similar - is hidden under the "HALO" sticker...
Blimey.

I built up my 20t hydraulic press I'd recently bought. I immediately swapped out the mechanical bottle jack for an air to hydraulic jack.
It's a simple frame design with a need for improving in certain respects
I also need to start building a stash of drifts and tubes for pressing things.
I may also make a set of jaws for folding thin sheet steel for making boxes or metal covers
