What Have You Fettled Today?

That Coospo looks very Garmin-esque

Oh and personally I'd have kept the GRX ring ,if I was changing I'd have gone for a Hope or Stridsland one ,obv all IMHO.

Of course it's your bike so your rules

COOSPO feels great, turns on and locks into Satellites immediately, the touchscreen is fab, it’s IPX7 Waterproof, the battery life is well proven to be 30 hours plus, has every feature you’d ever need seemingly - and it’s generally really impressive.

Of all the reviews I saw - the only real negative was a few saying there was quite some glare / reflection from the display screen. Easily solved with some Matte Glass screen protectors…..👍

**I spent a fair amount of time trying to find a 4-bolt, 110 BCD, 40 Tooth single chainring in Silver or Polished. I’d have happily bought a Hope one if I knew the right product was available (*Having looked it’s not in Silver 👎).

The other make you talk of - I’ve never even come across before 🤣 So I certainly wasn’t likely to be getting one of those……

I've been enjoying my Temple Classic this summer, and thought I'd put mudguards on ready for autumn.

The first, and most serious, hitch, were the rear facing dropouts at the back. They really don't work with full 'guards. Then clearance was a problem. Temple say'guards can be fitted with 32mm tyres; maybe they can if you have the rear wheel in exactly the right place, but I couldn't get 30mm tyres to work.

After an hour I gave up, had a cup of tea and put back the other wheels with 35mm tyres. Looks like I'll not be riding this bike much for the rest of the year.

Paramo of Sheffield no 1:

dismantled,

Cleaned & back together - hubs, wheels, cassettes & freewheels will all be a wee bit easier from now on.

Some original colour left...

Couldn't find any stamp re manufacturing date...

...but there's a tiny fragment of the original decal left. Maybe 50s, 60s, 70s?

Happy with how it turned out; very high-quality English engineering brought back to full working status.

Almost fettled, but not quite. There’s always tomorrow.
Triple chainring, Shimano brake/shifter, gives two ‘clicks’ when the cable is not attached, but one when it is. Derailleur will move the chain to the large ring, but drops it down to the middle when pressure released on the leaver. It’s not the limiter screw. I’m beginning to think too much cable tension.
Any ideas?
