What Have You Fettled Today?

[HLaB]

Changed the front tyre on the commuter from a 25mm to a 23mm, it now fits fine in the front mudguard. I'll make a quick bite now and fit the rear.

Realised I had to cut the stays down, so that never happened and fitted the rear tonight!

New fork seals on MTB and got the winter bike sorted for tomorrows club run.

Snapped both gear cables on the winter bike today. If im honest i was pushing my luck with how old the old cables were but atleast i got my moneysworth out of them

Decided that while i was doing gear cables i would clean the rear mech up a bit and put a new (3 rides old - 45 miles max) chain on so thats on my to do list for tonight. Got the old cables completely off and old chain off ready.

Tyres fitted to the old Mavics for the ss project and then put on to set the brakes up and then fitted the bar tape.Stuck with the bb though as I don't have the right tool.

Also partly dismantled the Helium for it's winter hibernation,now all tucked away in a Planet X bike bag ready to spend the next few months in the back bedroom/music room.

Cleaned and lubed the Kona following Wednesday's filthy weather, then fitted new brake pads in the Whyte and the Cube.

On the old Ribble winter bike - new brake blocks, jockey wheels, and tightened up the preset on the L:H crank, and retorqued the crank bolts. Discovered the cassette lockring was only finger tight too (naughty!). All sorted plus a general clean up ready for the winter.

removed the 720mm race face flat bars and flatish stem from the Big Dummy and replaced them with 640mm wide 40mm rise Surly Open bars, and a high-rise stem I had in the shed. Much more sit-up-and-beg now, and thus more comfortable to ride.

 

[hedder2212]

Removed both tyres ready for it to receive new tyres. The old rear tyre blew out on a ride yesterday and i know the front is close to going too.
Got some V-Brake callipers waiting to go on the front, Just need to find another pair for the rear and some niceish levers so i can do a V-Brake conversion.

Think there is a small crack in the weld on the BB shell, Yet to inspect it properly but if it is, ill just give it a quick weld next week.

the handlebar mount piece of the bracket broke on my favourite bar bag. thanks to halfords changing their brackets every 15 minutes and not carryings spares I've had to buy a cheap basket from Asda, have the whole set up apart to put the new block onto my bag and bracket onto the bike.

 

[Doyleyburger]

Picked up an old Richard Virenque Peugeot bike on Sunday. Ordered a few parts which arrived today

Upgraded the old quill stem and handlebars complete with new tape. Also put brand new schwalbe 25c tyres on amd trued up the wheels.

Just awaiting new gear cables and she's good to go. You may see it for sale on here very soon

 

[Poacher]

I'd forgotten how bleddy awkward Crud Roadracer Mk2 s can be to fit. So far I've only got the rear onto my Sid Standard, and it rubs like a..... rubbing thing, whatever I try to do. Probably doesn't help having 25mm tyres, but even so......

may have to take it off and only ride the Sid when weather permits. At least I do have alternative bikes.

 

[fossyant]

Turned the auto start stop back on (Garmin) ! Wondered why my commutes were taking much longer on ride time. Idiot ! Blamed it on a dodgy Knee.

 

[Mireystock]

Massive clean and re-oil/general love yesterday. I found two little bits of the Glos-Sharpness canal towpath from last weeks jaunt. (Tiny golden gravel pieces.)

 

[hedder2212]

Fitted new tyres. Unstuck the seatpost. Adjusted front brake and now i can do stoppies. happy now
