What Have You Fettled Today?

[potsy]

Ordered my fettling bits at 8pm Thursday night from Ribble, arrived this morning at 9am, great service

So tomorrow's job will be to fit a new chain and cassette to the commuter.

Decathlon is a good source for seat posts including shims.

Cleaned the Defy and my SPD SL shoes.

I also cleaned the Defy although sadly my SDP's remain mucky

In the middle of a bike maintenance course at the moment and one of the things that has come up is that the grease I've used on the threads when assembling my bikes isn't recommended as it tends to set over time unless it's kept moving (meant for bearing races).

Stripped, cleaned and regreased the threads on all the parts I've applied it to on both bikes (and certain parts on my brother's bike).

I now have peace of mind again.

Had to replace an inner tube after the back wheel exploded around me after inflating the tyre. Was in the garage so I got a right fright.

Started work on the Ridgeback Platinum frame I bought from djb1971.

Fitted the Shimano 2300 crank, front & rear mech plus bars/shifters and Shimano 105 brakes.

Cables and chain to do, but fitting 2300 gear cables are a pain.

Put an old Esge front fender on my Cannondale, as I could not make the rear fender work, but there is a Planet Bike Eco Rack back there for any spray thrown up by rain showers when riding home from church tomorrow. (Have to ride the bicycle home, as Mrs. GA does not wish to sit through 2 masses, and I have to be Lay Eucharistic Minister at one, and Thurifer at the other.) I got the Esge Fenders from an old Khalkoff Bicycle at a pawn shop I go to . I also adjusted the Cannondales' derailleur, and rode 17 miles

Made up a little handlebar mounted route card clipboard, which together with the Cateye Strada will hopefully give me reliable satlessnav for a forthcoming Audax.

I'm yet to experience the joy of visiting a Decathlon store.

This evening I fettled the back brake, rear mech low stop screw, checked all the fastenings with a torque wrench and mickled the chain on the new ride (post #2706) after its first 50km shakedown ride y'day.
