What Have You Fettled Today?

[Supersuperleeds]

Seeing this thread reminded me I need to pump up the tyres on the commuter, they felt a bit squishy at dinner time when I went out. Both tyres down to 60 psi, I run them at 100 normally, might be a bit easier ride tomorrow

Took the Dawes Eclipse to the basement today, to get it out of the way of the bicycles I'm using now. It was bought for a winter bike, and needs some mods for that.

Fettled the two screws I bought today as the last part of my self build Genesis Coix de Fer

Used a bike I hadn't ridden for a while, needed to get flat pedals fitted as a knee flare is preventing clipping in. Rode about 10 miles ok on Thursday. Started off for a ride yesterday, about half a mile up the road, rear tyre was feeling strange and making odd noises...uh oh, PF visit I thought...so had a look... see pics...

Turned round, made it home, got another bike, rode to and from lunch assignation clipped in on one foot.

Fortunately, had a new tyre in shed so all fixed

Pushed Henry around the house.

Flipped the stem on my Croix de Fer self-build. Much better!

Persuaded a cassette to part company from the freewotsit. Very satisfying series of cracks when it realised who was boss.

I took the opportunity to strip and clean the Bianchi this afternoon after a club ride this morning. I've got a 60 mile charity ride in the morning so no doubt itll get dirty again but at least it'll start clean

 

[All uphill]

Removed upholstery tack from rear tyre and patched tube. I thought that didn't happen with Marathon +!

I'm going to re-mortar it all sometime, or I could just inject a few tubes of No More Nails.

I think now that the bricks are put back in place, expanding foam would fill and permanently glue that together. I don't know if you have ever used it but the main thing is not to try and remove the excess until it is set, then just cut it off with a knife.

Another quick fettle this evening. I'm off to bike park Wales at the end of August and have booked a days uplift pass. The uplift racks fit a maximum tyre width of 2.6" which, you would think, is plenty. Unless you have 3" tyres that is So off with the standard specialized tyres and on with the new 2.5" Maxxis Aggressor's

Also time to pop the flat pedals back on

 

[Vantage]

Having swapped back to my old mudguards to take wider tyres, I've now refitted the longboards to match the gum wall cityjets.
I had to make 2 new brackets to fit them and the front bracket is a u type. Done so that the front of the guard isn't sticking up like a moto X bikes guard.
Looks much neater now

Changed the brake blocks on the van nic for the first time since owning it.....5 years of ownership conservatively 2k miles poss 3k, the front were shot. Replaced with R55 dura ace jobbies. They're miles better but at £10 a pair I was shocked....if they last as well as the Sram standard ones not bad value I suppose.

Apologies if not allowed, but I'm working on this: Amazon prime day cycling deals... hopefully helpful to some.
