They have an eBay shop which is how I ordered them and had them delivered free to local Argos store. Saves missing a delivery.

Swapped the cranks on my bikes a couple of weeks back and only just got round to fitting a gear cable/ adjusting the front deraileur For some reason with the sti's though I always end up make a faff of the first job, taking ages, routing the cable incorrectly and wasting it but do the subsequent replacement in under a minute

Had to adjust the front derailleur, the shifting had all gone a bit loopy after my off road excursions yesterday. All back to normal now though..

Hung up a faux vintage tin cycle advert sign in the man shed. Admired my bikes.

That's the best days fettling reported so far this year

I've decide to [attempt to] adapt my now redundant front mech shifter to become a trigger for a dropper seatpost on my MTB. So I set too stripping off the plastic casing to have a good butchers at the innards in an attempt to suss how it worked and which bits would need to be removed. Having identified the wee ratchet pawl that needed to come out I carefully removed a tiny e-clip which would enabled me to pry the two sides apart to get at said pawl... all going well so far

Ping - in the blink f an eye I'd gone from holding a shifter to trying to catch a collection of parts as the mechanism disintegrated under spring pressure and bits went everywhere. It's not going too good now

So now I had the fun trying to fathom out...

a, do I have all the parts?
b, which bits don't I need?
c, how the hell does this go back together?
​

Two curse filled hours later I have a re-assembled and modified one lever 'dropper post trigger shiftier lookalike' . So I can now use the exiting rear mech cable routing to get to the get seat tube which will make it all look very factory when finished.

Next task is to save up for the dropper post

Nothing cycle wise, though I have been online browsing bmx stems for my Cleland build.

New pads in my helmet because I just couldn't stand that unique aroma and taste any more.

Fenders for tourer, SKS Commuter Bluemels. I also went to nearby hardware store for spinach and kale seeds, a cylindrical ice cube tray and a patch kit for tubes.

Think the change is long overdue

Prepped the TT bike; well put tri bars and aero wheels on the road bike for tomorrow's TT. Still don't know if I'll ride, at the moment my staved thumb says no, but at least its prepped and who knows by tomorrow night!

Readjusted seat height on my wife's Giant Dash, after her mate rode it the other day.
Cleaned and checked my Focus Cayo ready for the next foray.

Fitted new chain, and, because I left it too long, a new cassette.

My laziness cost me £20 LOL.
