fitted some SKS blumels to the new Merida....not as easy when you have disc brakes. Got round it by using two light fittings which my LBS showed me how to doctor to fit the front stays........worked quite well.

Finally got the Frankenbike put together from the base of my 1994 mtb and bits I had lying around.

Fitted 105 SPD-SL pedals to my lads fixed gear, and changed his tyres for something a little better than the stock Kenda tyres, (although TBH he's never had a flat on them).
Fitted my cassette to my winter back wheel for the CAAD, but need new rim tape before I put the tyres on.
Tested my new Joe Blow Track pump, seems OK but I don't know why people rave about them. My 5 year old Decathlon track pump did the job equally well, and will now reside at work, just in case.

The older I get, the faster I used to be ...
Fitted Tortec Tour Ultralite rack on the winter bike. Hope Christmas will bring a rack bag, and thus relief to bulging jersey pockets.

Yet more fetting today....hopefully that will be it for a while...adjusted blumels for a better fit.....flipped stem for a lower reach....measured road bike leg length and found i was 10mm out on the hybrid so adjusted and will see how i get on. Moved brakes and gear levers towards stem due to addition of bar ends......much more comfy now.

The rear hub seized. Fitted a new wheel from "stock". Swapped over the cassette and adjusted the gears and brakes.
Stripping down the hub is Saturdays job. Is it difficult? (Specialized Secteur)

I'll be re-attaching my light bracket to the pannier rack tonight, one of the cable ties snapped on the way in this morning, and the thing was hanging off with two lights on it. 
It's basically a plastic pipe so the light brackets can mount to the rack. Fortunately there are two more lights on the back of the bike.

Lights re-attached with cable ties, fettled son's front light bracket (after he complained it keeps coming loose) and secured adjusting lever with a cable tie. Good these cable ties.
