What Have You Fettled Today?

[tfg71]

put a pair of city jet tyres on my gt palomar , was going to swap over my handle bar but the one i got is a little to short
had to take of the cheap mudguards as the bits where they attach to the forks stops me releasing the front wheel.

New front brake shoes and pads for my Wife's town bike, swapped old pads out to the rear. Put some new pedals on the MTB as I'd regreased the old ones, and forgot to put a couple of bearings back in and it was creaking horribly. The crank arms are coming to the end of their life though, took me ages to get the pedals to engage the threads on the left side. Upgrade time I think. The horror.

Lots of fettling today.

Swapped the Dura Ace chainset on to the Helium with the ultegra one now sitting on the Icarus.New chain and jockey wheels also put on the Icarus and everything set-up.
Seat post adjusted due to the shorter cranks and stem raised a few mill,will see how it goes on the club run/100k ride tomorrow.

Oh and new brake pads fitted to the Helium;all I can do on that until the wheels arrive in March.

I've fitted tubular tyres for the first time this evening

My youngest's race bike has received:

• Carbon wheels with a Campag freehub (3rd try, different hub type when 6 weeks later we finally found it was a Powerway one, not a Novatec ). All done now though.
• Continental Competition tubular tyres fitted with tub tape
• Discobrakes carbon pads, Swissstop ones removed for now

Seems to shift OK but we'll find out tomorrow. It may need a spacer for the rear cassette but that's all.

The commuter bike's had a big mechanical recently when the rear mech snapped. So:

• New rear mech hanger and replacement rear derailleur on the Carrera Virago which I use for commuting. The damage has scraped the magnesium frame so I'm hoping it's OK.
• Cleaned and lubricated the Wilier Izoard after 2 rides today; 50 miles into the hills then round a track with my son's race team for another 20.
• New chain and replacement wheels for the winter bike - an Eastway R4.0. So far it's done 2500+ miles this winter and the drivetrain's suffering.

I cleaned the Sirrus today then rode it to the LBS for new pads, chain and cassette.

Sorted some things on my new Giant Defy2 to make it ready for my first proper ride on it tomorrow morning.
Fitted new Swiss stop brake pads, shimano m530 pedals, lights and Garmin. Flipped the head stock to lift the bars, and set the seat height to the same measured length from crank to seat as on my other bike.
I'm quite looking forward to getting out on 'Jonny Foreigner' tomorrow.

Replaced broken spoke and dead trip computer. New inner tube

 

[0lonerider]

Replaced the inertubes I borrowed over winter

 

[Gravity Aided]

Put a little short front rack ( like you see on Amazon) on my touring / commuter rig so I could carry one pannier without being imbalanced. Pannier sits on the top of the rack and fastens to the bars. I also plan to mount a Cree headlight to the front of the rack.

Adjusted the brakes and pumped up the tyres on this....

Will be taking my Saracen for a bit of a long ride tomorrow, Will be giving that a good clean and a few tweaks as the cables will have stretched.

Planet X XLS got it's fortnightly clean up and fitted the Hutch Sectors although with tubes at the moment,will hopefully re-fit them tubeless next week-end.

Checked the other half's Avail as it has a very slow puncture/valve issue but left it for now as it takes a few days to go down,think it's a dodgy valve rather than an actual puncture.

Icarus ran ok after Fridays semi re-build but front mech will need a re-fettle and new cable.

I had my Eastway out of the shed this afternoon and fitted new chainrings and a chain, when I brought the bike last summer I spent some time experimenting with different chainring combinations, I've now decided to go back to the traditional front chain ring combination that I have used for decades, so I fitted a 42/50 chainring combination reset the front changer and fitted a new chain this afternoon.

Set up my youngest's Argon for his first race of the season on Saturday, following some work done over the weekend.

I've done my bit. Now he's got to do his.

Swapped the campag frehub body and cassette on my direct drive turbo for a shimano freehub body and a SRAM cassette.
