What Have You Fettled Today?

[C R]

No above the front mech cable boss and above the transfer 61.

That's right, it looks like at least there's damage to the paint. I meant to say seat tube, sorry for the confusion.

Big day for the Trek FX-3 Hybrid;

Old wheels out, cassette swapped over to new wheels. New DT Swiss / Hope combo wheels with lighter tyres and discs, Ti bolts etc fitted. Then messed about and got a perfect length set of Ti QR Skewers on, swapped out the old bars to some slightly wider / slightly higher rise and much lighter Nitto jobbies, and finally slapped on some Magnesium DMR V12 pedals.

Feels comparatively: very svelte now. Was originally 11.4kg and I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m now knocking on the door of or even just under 9.5kg now. Statically it’s easily noticeable….

I have a Zefal bar end mirror on my best bike. Unfortunately, it seems that it was designed for a smaller diameter than that of my handlebar. I couldn't tighten the fitting plug enough to stop the mirror coming loose on my rough local roads this evening.

When I got back, I removed the mirror and improvised a rubber shim from a length of scrap inner tube...

I refitted the mirror and it now stays in place!
