What Have You Fettled Today?

Having failed to get some Vittoria Corsa's to fit the 'new to me' Mavic Cosmics, I've just had delivered some 28c Lithion 4's. What a pig to fit, again fairly tight. Certainly not the tyres. I hope they stretch a bit as not looking forward to getting them off. Must be one of those rims that are slightly oversized.

I've never had issues with wheels/tyres before.

I did the set-up work on the Ridgeback Platinum as I'm hoping to ride the Second Class Return to Scarborough 300 this weekend, although am a doubt to start.

Also, the Viner Mitus was stripped ready for upgrades and a conversion for climbing use. Off came the Shimano Ultegra 6800 shifters / front derailleur, the Dura-Ace 9000 crankset / rear derailleur and clip-on mudguards. It's a bit from two winters' use plus being on a turbo trainer last winter whilst I recovered from a damaged hand and therefore a deep clean was needed. The new build will be done over the next couple of weeks and I'm leaving the FSA SLK brake calipers on as they are both lightweight and match the frameset colour-wise.

Finally the recently acquired Peugeot PY10LS has been dismantled as best I can: lots of parts are quite stuck so it's not been easy. That will allow the frame to be cleaned and painted a bit better.
