Fitted a spoke for the first time after the Secteur broke one this morning.
However, I couldn't get the Suntour freewheel removed from the Raleigh Team so that'll have to wait for it's new spokes.

I added a link from a new chain (now my source of spare links) to the chain on my Vivente tourer/commuter, as the chain I'd installed on it several weeks back was a link too short, which was affecting the front derailleur's shifting. Hopefully the shifting will now improve. I guess my upcoming week of commuting will soon determine if that is the case or not

Just replaced inner and outer gear cables on hybrid!! Synced in and working 1st time front and back, bit nervous riding to work at 5.30 in morning as that was too easy, normally takes me at least 3 hrs of messing!!!

Cleaned, lubed & winterised 3 bikes...
Triban 3: Crud Road Racers off and SKS Raceblade longs fitted, but with the Crud's tail piece that protects the chainrings used instead of the SKS's short piece. Surprisingly it bolts straight on without modification.
Boardman: Crud Road Racers (removed from the Triban) fitted with a spare tail piece used.
Kona Jake CX: Knobbly tyres (Schwalbe Smart Sam) fitted in place of the Gatorskins.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Shortly before due to leave this morning discovered flat rear tyre on winter bike, having pumped it up last night in readiness for todays club ride. Large hole in Gatorskin, with large hole in tube below - explosive event sometime in the night? Lucky maybe as I think the tyre must have been seriously damaged last time out without me knowing. It's terminal for the tyre and tube anyway. Fortunately had an old one in the shed, fitted plus a new tube, and managed to get to start of the ride with the route sheets in time. Then, on the run itself assisted rider fix another unplanned deflation - his first! What fun, with freezing fingers. Never rains but it pours etc etc.

Had a wheel replaced under warranty recently so my son 'helped ' me to put a tube and tyre on. While we were at it we greased saddle and seat post and cleaned the chain.
