What Have You Fettled Today?

[Cyclopathic]

Wrong.

I use protective waxes 2 or 3 times a year, never t-cut as it's too strong. Autoglym Super Resin polish. Mr Sheen is an excellent regular use 'cleaner'. T-cut would damage the custom paint scheme I have on my best bike (over time), and it's over 22 years old and still looks like new, so I'll stick with Autoglym and Mr Sheen !

You have a point and t-cut is best not used regularly but on a tired old paint job a one off app can lift the colour and give it a bit more life. I'm not likely to own a bike with a paint job so sophisticated that an application of t-cut will hurt it any. I can only speak from my own experience with it which has been good, but I've only used one application followed by a bit of wax.
What's your best bike? I approve of a bike that looks good after 22 years.

saddle clamp decided it was going to move one notch about a mile from home. so after a quick bath (me not the bike) I sorted that.

oh and put the flashing front and rear lights on as a seciondary measure

The handlebar mount for my Drift X170 is broken. I know they are only £17 but after you add shipping and duty it will be closer to £40.
I know that if you tale the complete mount off tht there is a tripod screw mount so that it fits on a tripod. I decided to drill two holes in the arm of my Minoura Space Bar and screw it to that and it works!

I slipped out my dual compound koolstops and slipped in my salmon ones.

I've been fitting some aluminium mudguard extensions to my knockabout bike to replace the lemonade bottle version. Looks good but more adjustments needed before it's ready.

I have aluminium brazed the drawbar on my trailer.

Good grief! What the flippetty 'eck is going on there with that lot! You riding to the moon?

I removed my Ortlieb bar bag from my Whyte Coniston today because it has been for some time now, thoroughly and abjectly pissing me off. I'm going to sell it, and I have replaced it with a rear carrier trunk bag, a much better solution.

That lot? On the space bar is a CatEye Enduro computer, Drift X170 video camera and a Garmin Edge 705; the remote for the Drift X170 is on the handlebars.
I have the CatEye in tandem with the Garmin because I sometimes get unexpeted 'spikes' on the Garmin

Busy day today. Gonna swap the winter tyres and wheels into the Disco. Then going to check over the commuter ready for Monday after standing idle for almost 2 months. Then going to fit the 27 x 1-1/8" conti tyres and tubes onto the Elswick I've been rebuilding.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Regreased and adjusted headset bearings and fitted replacement rear mudguard stays on the knockabout bike. The rear mudguard extension now doesn't flap about.

The front mudguard extension will need a bit of trimming I think. I've made it a bit oversized and it might catch if dropping down a kerb, so another little job to do before I can test it properly.

Edit: I couldn't leave the thing alone, so the extension has come off and been trimmed down by 1 inch. A bit of careful reshaping and I'm now confident it won't catch on kerbs but will still catch the spray.

Old Linear recumbent arrived yesterday - so I have spent the morning putting it together and giving it a basic service......then went for a ride

Easily done...
