Noo... funny lad.....

 

[shouldbeinbed]

minor rear mech tweaking on the way home and resetting my bar end mirror on the same side.

I think my bike has taken a knock I don't know about.

 

[fossyant]

I should word it better

Spent the evening doing battle getting my Fuji Allegro frame back to a road worthy state...

- Stem & handle bars refitted.
-New brake levers, cables & pads fitted.
- new 2nd hand wheels fitted with new tubes & tyres and bearings lubed.
- Roughly set up the gear-shifting, will need fine tuning. Trying to decide whether to keep the stem shifters or change to more familiar down tube shifters?
- been defeated by clearance issues with full mudguards & called it a day.

Ready for some new bar tape, new pedals, a polish & a test ride tomorrow

After my ride in a total deluge on Tuesday, this evening I cleaned the chain and re-oiled. @Rickshaw Phil will be proud!

The plastic inside my 2300 shifter broke clean off - the part keeping the cable end in place. I will need to find a second hand replacement, but for now I've bodged a fix with some inner tube and superglue. It seems to be working well atm

New pedals on this evening, but I'm getting over a stinking cold so won't be out this weekend

 

[Gravity Aided]

MKS Lambda pedals on order, new saddle fitted to Cannondale H 600, maybe different bars or a different configuration of bars over the weekend, I'm going to wait and see how the saddle works out first, and go from there.

I decided to re-fettle the saddle back to it's original position on the Longstaff.
Then I spent some time experimenting with various saddle bags & support brackets & lighting positions to achieve the optimum configuration for night riding.

So currently I have a Carradice Camper Longflap on a Carradice Classic Saddlebag Rack attached to a Brooks Swallow with ti. rails.
I have also re-fiited the Campag aero seat post.

Attached to the rack is one of these

which will carry one of these

The TL-LD1100 is an excellent light, though possible a touch chunky - not one for hanging off clothing only to be mounted on a bike. Wonderfully bright and last ages on flashing mode with only the 1 strip flashing (very bright even with only the 1 level flashing) never needed any other lights with that one. I run it off AA rechargeable batteries and have done for years and years.

The only thing I am a touch confused about is how you plan to use that rack light fitting with either light? What rack have you got? I use this light fitting (minus the cable ties which are not needed for my rack) http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/cateye-rear-carrier-mounting-bracket-prod15303

This,which will accommodate either of the lights I have linked to,

which in turn is secured to this

I too use the bracket you have linked to;on the rear of my pannier racks
