What Have You Fettled Today?

[TheDoctor]

Did some unfettling.
Earlier in the year we put up stud walls to make three rooms out of our home office. Never properly finished, but used for a few months.
I've now removed one of the rooms, thusly.

Here's the start point.
I'm standing in one room, there's a doorway on the left, down a little corridor, and the doorway and the room on the right is going.

Plasterboard Expelliarmus!

Insulation (mostly) gone. The far wall behind the table is staying, the one on the left is next to go.

Bang! and the wall is gone.
I have lots of left-over plasterboard. And 2-by-4s.

Taping the joints. The polystyrene on the floor is to catch splashes of filler.

First coat of paint.

Door hung and architrave in place.

Door hung a bit better and skirting done.

Just need to go round and caulk the last few bits, then get rid of a load of plasterboard.

The office is a brick-build outbuilding, about 5m by 9m.
We needed an extra room divided off for a few months, but don't any more.
The bit you can't see (because it's behind me in the photos) is becoming my bike workshop, complete with coffee maker and beer fridge.

Nice.....nothing better than your own bike shop. I got a coffee machine in my home office......saves a lot of walking up and down the stairs

This pair of Wellgo LU987U pedals.

A bit rough. My first attempt at servicing pedals, and after finishing the first ine, a ball left over!
Did the second, made sure of no inadvertent 'spares', then re-opened the first and dropped the truant into place.
To be re-fitted to the Scott, and now I know what to do, will take the pair currently on the Scott, service them, and fit them to the Trek, which is sans pedals atm.

I've found inconsistencies in ball count on cheap pedals. I think quite a few get dropped in the factory. I doubt many ever get serviced. I've done quite a few VP and Wellgo sets on my commuter bikes. The cones sometimes need 'nipping up' after a few rides after the bearings have been re-greased. You can do this with the pedals on the bike.

The handles on our granddaughters pram needed new foam padding.
Unfortunately it was riveted together, no worries, roll of handlebar tape from LBS.
Not as good as new. Better than !

Added a homemade decal just for a bit of fun.

Time to replace all cables inners & outers on my winter bike & new bar tape too. The outers were all cracking and there was hesitation in my gear shifting. My German made Enik Pordoi has always had the brakes the wrong way round (right brake lever operated the back brake) although it never bothered me it was now time to go the British way.

Nice 105 1055 groupset there!

I filled up the tubeless winter wheels and put them and mud guards on the bike. Then fettled the guards to make sure there was no rub.

What can I say setting up and maintaining tubeless is a right faff 🙄

I’m sure there are lots of benefits, but they’re not for me, I like the security of carrying a spare tube on longer rides.

Rather than waste £16 on a new Q/R seat clamp for my turbo trainer bike, I made my own, I drilled out the existing clamp and fitted a quick release skewer that I already had. Works a treat, the whole family can now keep fit!

Fitted the Schwalbe G-One Speeds onto my Verenti Technique that I’d swapped for Vittoria Terrano Dry tyres on the Marin gravel bike, 700x30 so should be a nice comfy ride on that one, really pleased that they fit, and it seems I’ll still be able to fit the SKS Raceblade XL’s too when needed
