What Have You Fettled Today?

[potsy]

Fitted the new bottom bracket tonight, easy job that would have been even easier if I'd remembered to put the spacer on first time round
No time to test ride it so will continue the commute on the Secteur until I get time to give the CX a trip round the block on Friday.

Great service from CRC too, ordered Sunday night, delivered this morning

Hollowtech 2? [edit-just seen the horror show of a picture ]

It'll be fine - just has to be as tight as you can get it. I take it you bought one of those funny spanner jobbies to remove the locking nut?

For someone who claims to be cack handed, you do pretty well mate.

Fitted a new tail light to the fixed tonight, a Blackburn Mars, had to use my ingenuity to mount it on the carrier. The Mars replaced a half watt smart that I'd been using for years.

Cleaned (yes you heard that right) my commuter bike as it was looking a little bit dirty after a few wet commutes this week, also fitted some new pedals which should get rid of the horrible creaking noise it's been making for ages, hopefully it was the pedals and not my knees

Could you tell me more about top bar brake levers? I like to use that area,when not on the hoods. Easy mod for 2300 sti shifters?

Love em'. Mine were about £18 fitted free when I bought the bike.

Just inspected and cleaned winter bike brake blocks - cartridge, Tiagra. Plenty of life left. BUT discovered I had originally fitted one of each, front and rear, backwards . Speedily remedied.

Has someone stolen your identity?

2 KoM's and a clean bike.

Not sure what got fettled today. Will ask the butler.

Must have been the 2kg of dirt that came off it last night

Can confirm the creaking noise was the pedals, nice to have a quiet bike again

Done a deal with a mate of mine so the CAAD10 now has Ksyrium SL's back on it

 

[MattHB]

I managed to shear off the Alan bolt that's does up the cable pinch clamp on my CX front mech will carry out extraction tomorrow.

Retaped the felt with black bar tape.

Off now to go any play with my new elite qubo wireless trainer

Finally found my soldering iron and replaced the plugs on my "proper" magicshine clone (as opposed to my cheapo clone with smaller battery pack)

I fitted bar tape to my bike today. The first time I have ever done that.

I think Ill post this in the "Whats The Scariest Thing You Have Ever Done " thread.
