What Have You Fettled Today?

[VinSumRox]

Pal brought his wheel round for me to fix a drive side spoke. Took a bit longer than planned as I dropped the spoke nipple inside the double rim, took a fair while to fish it out with some sticky tape. 2nd attempt inserted it on the end of another spoke and screwed it on!
Lesson learned for next time!
Also when I removed the cassette the freehold came off with it, is that usual for a Hunt hub?

After hours fighting to remove possibly the most stubbornly stuck crown race I've ever dealt with, I finally got the new forks fitted!

Upgraded Fredo's headset from a pitted Campagnolo Record, to a Stronglight Spidel with roller bearings top and bottom.

Had to find a threaded shaft (M12, 1.75) to extend my cup press tool long enough to use in Fredo's head tube.

Put in the cups one at a time:

Looks a bit different, but it's much smoother than the pitted one it replaced, and lighter to boot.

Gave the front pads and rims on the Trek rebuild a good scrub and clean while also toeing in the pads a bit and hey presto! No grabbing and squealing .

Nice little pootle this morning to test everything out properly.

My son is going back to university next week, so Ì decided to give his Allez commuter a clean and service, also fitted a new rear tyre and tube (the old one had 5 patches!) went over the bike with a torque wrench and took a few links out of the chain as I’d fitted it a bit too long. It will now go back in the garage ready for his return.

Only paid around £70 for it ( we are in for about £150 all in) and it’s made an interesting commuter bike, he’s really enjoyed using it.

Got the head tube on the new forks cut to size. Managed to get a nice straight cut with just a hacksaw and an old head tube spacer as a guide!
