Cleaned the commuter and lubed the chain, block and mechs.
Finished fettling the gears after fitting new stealthy black chainrings on the CAAD a couple of weeks ago, then gave it a good clean.
Hoping to take some updated CAAD pics tomorrow
Stripped the Dawes Mono down, new BB, rear wheel(from racer), new mudgaurds and rear cog. Brakes also replaced with 105 calipers that I got cheap from a mate.
I've just pumped up my tyres, adjusted the saddle and unsuccessfully tried to reset the odometer bit on my computer. All accompanied by cheese, ham and pickle toasties, a mug of Horlicks and Kerrang radio.
Went to look at buying s maintenance stand last week and thought "i can make one of them" so today made a bike stand for 1/4 of the price in the shop , its not perfect but it works.
Will take some pics and post if i find out the correct forum to post in
Fitted new pedals, added road cleats to my new road shoes - and discovered why the Sports Direct Muddy Fox £22 ones are so cheap - on one of the shoes, one of the bolts just turns continuously and will not tighten at all! Two screws seem to be holding it tight enough but time will tell. Can't be arsed to try and post them back as faulty and have thrown all the packaging away anyway.
