New hanger and chain fitted to the Bianchi. Hanger adjusted and rear dérailleur refitted and tweaked. Rear wheel bearing preload and rear brake adjusted too. Second bottle cage fitted ready for warmer weather.
Today I installed the wicker wine basket and wine bottle, as well as the requisite floral spray, on my wife's Olympique mixte; and a moustache on the bars of my Motobecane. All in readiness for Saturdays 'Velo Vintage' run.
Today I was pulling chains apart, removing a link from one bike ready for sale and tinkering my fixed so it's got tension in the chain again, managed to re-shape the dust cover for the bewrings on my old Campi hub too so it's not going to spill beans or ingress dirt on rides!
Happy as Larry now as one of my two bikes are ridable again
The cheap cup-and-cone bottom bracket on my wife's bike was rusty and worn out, found a correct size sq. taper replacement cartridge bb in my spares box but the left plastic cup was missing.
The only other cups I had in stock were Hollowtech II, I tried an old one for size and it fitted perfectly
