What Have You Fettled Today?

[Elybazza61]

Fitted a new cable to the front mech on the Icarus and re-set it up,lowered the saddle a bit and moved it a tad forward too.

Looks like I'll be cleaning it tomorrow or Sunday as the club run looks like it'll be a tad damp.

 

[Turdus philomelos]

New wheels, chain and cassette. It's going to be riding a new bike.

Gah.

When people who have never used STI's before wander around going "how do these work then?" pulling and heaving at them on the shop floor

Took the new ultegra pedals off my road bike and replaced with m520 for walking enablement. Yes, a super six with MTB pedals looks odd but a guys gotta walk. I might get xt pedals soon as the 520s are rather heavy (and xtr too pricey).

Actually to the heck with that, I think I'll just get a new bike.

 

[DCLane]

Cleaned son's Argon after this mornings race (not great but OK result)
Then took the Principia TT bike out for an adjustment ride
Finally I set up the Wilier for tomorrow's audax. I've decided to go 'fast' rather than 'steady' so am leaving the Ridgeback Platinum at home.

My Arione has been back a Fizik as the nose stitching had started to come lose. The replacement came this week so I collected it from the lbs and swapped it with the old spesh saddle I was using. The spesh saddle went back on my commuter :-)

Installed the cadance sensor and Garmin 500 I bought from @Gert Lush ,all works but it needs a new battery for the chain stay big,robbed it from the heart sensor ATM.

Just done a wee bit of fettling between Kenny's sprints. The cassette on the direct drive turbo was clicking slightly so I looked it up on the web and swapped the 2mm spacer that I use on my other shimano hubs for the two 1.3mm ones a very tight fit but hopefully it solves the click

Both the hybrid and the roadie fully cleaned and adjusted.Both chains Mickled ready for tomorrow's commute.Depending on the weather will decide in the morning which to take. .......Dad will you clean and oil mine whilst you doing yours.Came a request from in the house.So 18yr olds mtb done too.It was nice working outside in the sunshine.

Attempted fettling today but succeeded in bungling, mostly.

Wanted to replace the entire transmission on the commuter. While removing drive side crank didn't screw the extractor far enough in and extracted the threads rather than the crank. Farked it up a bit further with a second crank extractor.

Couldn't get my sprocket off either. Took to whacking the chain whip with a hammer which didn't help but it made me feel better, until I skinned a knuckle.

Sent email to LBS to book bike in.

 

[rovers1875]

Replaced bottom Bracket and outer chainring on sons MTB. Never done one before but quick check on you tube and it looked straight forward.
result new (not bent and worn ) chainring which turns nice and smooth, no movement or grinding.
Even treated the chain and cassette to a good clean, The drive train hasn't looked so good in years.

 

[shouldbeinbed]

Sorted out a few final tweaks on my Birdy to get it just so, put my winter tyres on the Cannondale Ute so the MTB can go to charity to free up a bit of shed space.

 

[Racing roadkill]

I changed the chain, cassette and jockey wheels on the Triban today. I found out that Shimano don't supply the screws for the Jockey wheels, with the new ones. So wished I hadn't binned the screws I had already, cue having to fish through the bin to get them back. All done now.

 

[palinurus]

Screwed down a couple of creaky floorboards.
