What Have You Fettled Today?

[GrumpyGregry]

Swapped the track cog on the fixed from a 13T to a 15T and fitted a new saddle.

Fitted a swat kit to my mtb

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Put some helicopter tape on the frame of the Tricross and shifted the lights from the deceased Sirrus onto it. I need to change the pads on the Felt but that can week until next week.

Just out of curiousity, @Supersuperleeds: what happened to the Sirrus that has made it unusable?

Got hit by a car the other week, bent one of the seat stays, lovely curved bumper shape in it.

In the past week, I've replaced the whole drive train on my commuter; Stronglight Zicral 52 and 42 tooth chainrings, HG-50 chain, 13-23 HG-50 cassette, BBB jockey wheels, and new RS11's as my old wheels were knackered. Also replaced all the cabling whcih has made a huge difference. Feels like a completely new bike now

52/42 chainset with 12-23 cassette. You must be super strong or have no hills!

It's a triple, so 52/42/30, but I live in Cambridgeshire, so no hills and never have to use the inner chainring. I swapped from a 12-25 cassette to 13-23 cassette to give more choice in the middle, which is where I spend 90% of the time!

A few jobs today. Last week Cubester was complaining about poor quality changes on his Canyon. He also lost the chain a couple of time on big descents. I sourced an MRP chainguide and went to fit it yesterday to find it specified a 32 -36 maximum outer ring, and his is 38, so that's back up for sale. However, I then looked for other potential sources of shifting and retention issues, and refined the limit adjust on his front mech. I then found that the rear mech wouldn't drop onto the 11t cog, and saw that the rear mech outer cable was too short. Basically I'd fitted it with insufficient length to allow for the movement of the rear chainstay, and as the suspension has traveled it's pulled the cable taut, through the cable ties and left it too short and under too much tension at the rear mech. I'll have to nip to the LBS for some outer unless anyone can tell me where I put that spare length of SP 41 I bought last year?

I then fitted some new Ibis grips to the Ibis. Identical in every way to the SRAM grips I had on it which had big chunks missing from a couple of tree strikes and a big sliding off up at the quarry, except they have the IBIS logo and were only a tenner in a clearance offer.

Stripped the parts off the old Raleigh frame, starting to get back into this after finally removing the cotters last week.
Time to choose a new paint scheme while I remove the old paint.

 

[fossyant]

Cleaned and oiled the MTB after today's ride. Mickling the chain and noticed a cracked link. 9 speed KMC chain. As the link was near the quick link, I just shortened the chain slightly. New one is on order.

Replaced the tyres and tubes on the fixed to Michelin Pro 4 Endurance.

 

[arranandy]

Fitted pedals and bottle cages to my new bike - a Wilier Zero 9 - last night. Also adjusted the saddle height. Hoping to get out for a ride on it Friday afternoon - weather permitting

 

[BAtoo]

A little fettling on GFs new bike getting it ready for her, swapping lights & bottle holder over to start with, nothing too serious so far - that's now 3 bikes to fettle!!
