What Have You Fettled Today?

[Rickshaw Phil]

It's one of those jobs if you think about it and are careful it is very easy after the first time. As soon as you are interrupted by the wife etc. you suddenly realise you need four arms and two pairs of hands

Not my first time though. It's one of the things I had to learn and get right to pass the Cytech 2 course.

Lowered the stem 10mm. Will see how it feels on Thursday, If it feels good i will leave it, Ready for the Cambridge Grand Fondo.

Fitted a chain and the lights.
Not going to bother with the handlebar bag. Just going to put the tools in my rucksack.

Servicing @gavgav's bike. I've decided that bleeding hydraulic cycle brakes is not going on my list of enjoyable jobs.

With you on this. It is a job I delegate to the professionals.

Have an old 1996 orange c16r hard tail. Fitted new shifters , regreased the headset, fitted new wider riser bar + grips and will get some new tyres tomorrow.

The bike handles very differently to modern bikes and has v brakes. Strangely the gear change is a lot smoother than modern bikes. (3 X 8). Great fun to ride.

Fitted new tyres today and took it down a mountain fire road. It was different having 26" wheels compared to 29" and the original 145mm stem made the handling interesting

Only picture I have of my bitsabike. Though today I fitted a pannier rack and a rear mudguard.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Fuji Crosstown 3.0 purchased used as a commuter. Chain oiled and wheels trued, now awaiting new, non-suspension seatpost, and the scrounging of a rack and fenders to fit. It's a 2012, I don't know how the bike rack at work will react to a bicycle less than a quarter century old.

Helium cleaned and checked over ready for Sundays TOC fondo.

The rack came of my youngest's Islabike after our C2C this week.

Then I got told the bike store/garage was a mess by SWMBO. It's now all organised - wheels sorted and stacked, all parts sorted and organised properly. 'Bits and bobs' in a proper set of containers. Tyres/tubes/chains/etc. all set out with associated parts and accessories next to each. It looks like know what I'm doing

What she doesn't know is in that doing the 'sorting' I've lost the space for Tim's Islabike. Hmm ...

 

[Jamieyorky]

Fitted new Sora front and rear mechs to the winter/commuter. Was running in branded rear Shimano but Sora makes it feel alot better.

 

[numbnuts]

Made some sourdough bread

 

[DCLane]

Fitted an Aerojacket disc cover to the 100mm carbon TT wheel. It mostly fits flat but I won't find out the impact until it's tested. Oh, and the Principia TT bike got a new stem bolt (old one was rusty) and front/rear derailleurs adjusted.

 

[PeteXXX]

CX washed and lubed after a slightly mucky ride.
Defy 2 lubed, wiped down with GT85, and prepped (again) for the Norwich 100 tomorrow.
