What Have You Fettled Today?

[All uphill]

Coincidentally Ms AU is fettling a sliced mango with strips of steak marinated in red wine, ginger and soy sauce ready for stir-frying later.

Started work on the Ridley Fenix SL build. It'll be slow, as I'm not really sure what's being added to the frameset, but as a start it's had:

- A Bontrager XXX aero handlebar plus Bontrager XXX stem.
- The carbon Fizik R1 seatpost from the previous Merida Scultura plus a black and yellow Fabric saddle which should match the frame.
- A Dura-Ace 9000 rear derailleur which might stay.

Next up is the bottom bracket. I've a Dura-Ace press-fit in a box but not enough hands to fit it. It's either that or an adapter, which might have to be a temporary solution.

Just fitted Ergon handlebar grips and a Zefal mirror onto the GLWs Brompton.
She'd seen my recently fitted Ergon grips and decided she needed some - !

I took the wheels that were on my "ruby Burton" when it came back from Edinburgh, cleaned them up fitted some 23c Gatorskins (from the cellar) and a cassette put them in my "black Burton" (re-badged Kinesis Racelight). Also swapped over the bars and stem (also from the "ruby Burton"). Adjusted the indexing on the rear mech. This is my "bikeability teaching" bike. No mudguards so I can remove wheels and pack it easily in to the car boot as required.

New FD came for the commuter so i put it on , oddly the old one which i though was stiff moves freely and the cable when not attached moves freely but join it altogether and it doesn’t shift the mech and feels really stiff .
WTF !!
