What Have You Fettled Today?

[Spoked Wheels]

Just fitted new Marathon tyres to my MTB and re-aligned the disc brakes.

Hoping to do a ride on boxing day

 

[cyberknight]

Trued the wheels on my lads new bike, they must have settled whilst in the shed awaiting x mas day .

 

[hedder2212]

New Batteries in the lights.
Removed bottle cages and cleaned them.
Thats it.

 

[HLaB]

Might pump up the tyre's on my bike but that hardly counts as fettling

 

[bpsmith]

Swapped tyres and cassettes around from Fulcrum's and Zonda's to new FFWD wheels.

FFWD's on the Bianchi. Zonda's now on the Defy again. Can't wait for a test ride, maybe tomorrow morning.

 

[contadino]

Fitted the bar tape that I got for Xmas. Not something I've needed to do for 30 years, but it looks pretty good.

I was a little worried about tape being short - it seems a common complaint - but the Tenn Outdoors stuff was plenty long enough.

 

[Elybazza61]

Cleaned the Icarus and cleaned up ad re-greased the free-hub on the Zondas which had a bit of a wobble;much better now(hopefully).

 

[hedder2212]

First time doing anything to the claud butler so decided to do a proper clean up of it...
Discs, derailleurs, Chain, Cassette and crankset removed and cleaned up in the parts cleaner.... all sparkly now
New gear cables, Grips, bottom bracket tyres and innertubes
Cleaned and polished up the forks, frame and wheelset
Taken it for a quick test ride around the block rides booooootiful

 

[biggs682]

had a tinkering session last night on a 80's Peugeot road bike and stripped the headset and bottom bracket and then put it back together again with some fresh grease feels a lot smoother now

 

[Gravity Aided]

Set my Raleigh Technium up on the trainer today, got a proper old training tire put on, and had a go, after adjusting about every bolt one can find on an old Minoura Mag-Trainer.

 

[Jenkins]

A quick bleed of the front brake in my Cube and it's now back to normal rather than the lever going all the way back to the bar if I don't give it a few squeezes first

 

[subaqua]

Full strip down and clean of the commuter. Which involved putting the new dynamo front light on, the new front wheel as it went past truable , which then led into resetting up the Magura hydraulic rim brakes and new brake blocks. Oh and a new front mudguard as I finally found the clicking noise ( broken stay bracket)

Only the frame forks and bars are the original now . Triggers broom bike !

 

[hedder2212]

Cleaned the Claud Butler.
Cleaned the Saracen, Tuned the gears, Put new brake pads onto it, Pumped up the tyres. Ready for my brother @redvision95 to pick up tommorrow.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Fitted my new handlebars (thanks @gavgav ) and stem to the Raleigh.

New look for the New Year

Out of curiosity and because the weight of my bike has been commented on elsewhere, I did a bit of weighing and the new bits save 370 grammes. Not too bad.

My knee after I spakked it on a rock at Gizburn.

BTW Gizzy trail centre needs a good fettling after the monsoons.
