What Have You Fettled Today?

[Arjimlad]

New Superstar wheels for my Giant Revolt, new cassette, rim tape, popped the tyres on etc.
Took the discs off my old wheels for now.

I also took the rear derailleur to bits, cleaned it up with Screwfix no nonsense degreaser, and opened up and regreased the part which carries the bolt attaching it to the hanger. New jockey wheels installed too.

Hoping for a smooth fast ride tomorrow especially with a tailwind home 🌬️👍🚴

Ciara has defiantly stopped play, 60 mile plus winds, put a new chain on the gravel bike, the Shimano one was starting to wear, the track I ride along has been partly surface dressed with fine grano chippings and even a 10 mile ride has meant a clean and re lube, using an FSA (chocolate!!!) chain that I have in stock, the last FSA I used only lasted 500 miles, one more left, its either use them or throw away, the first one was that good

New pads on the FS MTB yesterday. Noticed whilst on a pootle with Mrs F that the rear started to sound 'grindy'.

So what went from lots of pad, very little wear, to no pads after one sloppy ride in the Peaks a couple of weekends ago. Proper grinding paste. Both sets worn out. Any discount offers on Uber Bike ? Need spares.

pedals, grips, seat

 

[roadrash]

then there is your answer, not much point changing anything else if you are happy with it

Not much really they’re a good bike out of the box, 120mm fork and hydraulic brakes. Just keep it clean, well oiled and just enjoy it.

halfords sayed something about my brakes...something about them being too tight. They said something about taking it in for a bike check, and getting them too look at them or something...Anyone know what he meant?

He meant they’d like you to give them some money.

Not that happy with yesterdays application of bar tape so rewrapped it tonight, the blue unfortunately is somewhat darker than the blue elements of the bikes trim. Also had the black enamel out to touch up the black trim on the offside fork and the brake lever which had been scuffed on Fridays incident with an icy road. Awaiting the replacement rear derailleur hanger.
