What Have You Fettled Today?

[Leaway2]

Fitted 2 new Continental ultra sport. Looking forward to tomorrows commute to see how they feel.The original specialized tyres have served me well, but time to change them after covering over 6k miles.

The Emmelle got some old mudguards yesterday. Today I fitted some rubber mudflaps to them. I also changed the rear brake to a V brake and renewed the cable inner and outer at the same time. The rear brake now works!

I've had some useless tendon cut away today to combat dupuytrens contracture. I'm in considerable discomfort and will be off the bike for a few weeks. Does that count?

I removed sky+ and fitted freesat, does that count.

Nothing yet today but yesterday was spent getting to grips with a seized on crank bolt and further complications with the sealed bottom bracket which was one of those German F.A.G pieces of utter utter utter utter (add own expletive). The bracket is screwed in with a silly design of dodad, 6 semicircular notches that take the removing tool. And they are made of some sort of plastic which although toughened are no where near as tough as oh, say putty.
I had found a replacement that was the right size but of the same design so I decided against it in favour of a normal non sealed BB.
Honestly there are some developments that should stay on the drawing board. Not sealed BB's, I think they're great, I mean the stupid extraction tooling and making them from plastic. All sorted now though thanks to some violent drilling and advice and encouragement from a friend.
Anyone else got experience with this particular sort of BB?

My good bike took a knock on the rear derailleur, unknown to me. The gears were a bit jumpy, which I corrected mid ride using the barrel adjuster. The first I knew of any more serious issue was when I switched to my granny gear for a 20% gradient climb and the derailleur cage was rubbing against the spokes!!! Thankfully no damage to the spokes / wheel / derailleur, and a gentle persuasion was enough to remove the 2mm mis-alignment in the hanger and I reset the cable while I was at it. Now all the gears rub smooth as :-)
