My fettling today amounted to putting a new tyre on the fixed and assembling a small self assembly table.

At last I found/fitted a sealed bearing that actually fitted my old 1inch steerer and integrated head tube. The crown race was badly pitted, so had to be removed too.

I had started to do an oil change on my car and discovered that the oil filter was the wrong size. I needed a short fat one where as the new one was tall and thin. It was a good job I hadn't drained out the oil.

Having ridden my geared bike for the first time in five months yesterday, I'd been on fixed all winter, I discovered I had the saddle a shade too low and the gears needed a little fettling. So this afternoon I raised the saddle a couple of MM and spent an hour fettling the gears.

Lights have now been swapped over from the Saracen to the Raleigh.
Was going to take the pannier bags and rack off of the Saracen but I'm leaving them on for the buyer as they wont fit the Raleigh that and because I couldn't be bothered with any more fettling today

The week-end was mostly spent messing about with tyres;
First the other halfs Avail had a slow punture which I couldn't find at first but ended up being a tiny flint cut so new tube in and will repair the original at a later date.
Rest of the time was spent converting the Archetypes to run the Hutchinson Sectors tubeless;lots of faffing with sealant and much pumping(oo-err) and they are on but still not quite bedded in properly yet,they are sublime to ride though so will persevere.

faffed around the with the Gamin Edge/GoPro mounts again after wrapping my SJCam clone in Copper tape as another forum suggested
Not my camera but you get the idea...
Looks a bit naff now but the idea works a treat - My Edge 200 doesn't take forever to connect (if not connecting at all) now.
Im using the Garmin 'Out-In-Front' mount which has support for a GoPro underneath
I always prefered having the camera on the bar rather then my helmet anyway as its a more stable platform. the SJCam clone is still on rear cam duty.
I think for longer rides that are in excess of 3hrs, I might move the SJCam clone to the front and have a USB cable running from it to a powerbank to give it at least a full 11hrs in 720p (or about 3-4hrs in 1080p i think) Less faffing around swapping the battery every 90mins.
Ive heard i can even power a light like a MagicShine or similar from a power bank. The power bank that i own can output 2.4amps so it should work fairly OK.

I sent my (worn) wheels off to DCR Wheels for new rims and a service.
As per usual David has done a stirling job. Glad to have them back. I have been using my spares, a pair of Ultegra's for the last month. Though the Ultegra's are good wheels. These are so much nicer
So all nicely swapped back over ready for tomorrows ride.
