What Have You Fettled Today?

@Gunk - rim brake bikes appear to have collapsed in value and demand which imho is daft as they work just as well as disc brakes if properly set up.

Indeed I have seen rim brake bikes so cheap it's unbelievable,I paid a bit more for my synpase as I wanted a disc bike for winter .
I will have to take it to the lbs to sort out the FD as I can't get it too shift to the big ring even after following instructions and videos.

Took a wheel to bits, and then re-laced it. I'll do it again tomorrow and several more times after that. For the exam next year I have to build the wheel and straighten it in 90 minutes, so I'll be doing it a lot in the next months.

Wow, very high pressures, unless you weigh 100kg.

That's why I mentioned them and explained the situation here, and how the tyres feel.

I started off with the pressures much lower but punctured twice hitting potholes. To be honest, even with the higher pressures it might still have happened,

I think that I might reduce the pressures by about 0.3 bar for my next ride and see how I get on.

I use lower pressures than those on my 28 C GP5000 tyres oop north.

I put together my Park tools work standing that’s be stored in the garage roof for over 18 months. Clearly I’ve done lots of fettling.🤣🤣🤣🤣
