Kit Patching Up

[fossyant]

What have you patched up before the return to work ?

Me...

Pannier - some stitching coming loose near the bungie retainer - so repaired that - no other holes !

Overshoes - Piping off the front edge was detached, so repaired that too, and glued a couple of holes in the PU coating. (I'd initially lost them - found them in a rucksack in the garage - used the MTB last).

Battery Charger - broke - capacitor gone - ordered new one from 7dayshop (the 808 model) - had two, one broke so replacing with the same - had very good service from them and at £7.99 delivered for a smart charger !

Bike(s) - nothing !

Just needed to add some air to the tyres and electricity to the lights.

Front and rear gear cables, the rear was hanging on by 2 strands. Kept getting cuts when using the right hand bar-end shifter; it was the broken ends of cable strands.
Rear v-blocks.
Bar tape.

New pads in the disc brakes. Damned messy and fiddly job with hydraulic brakes. Much easier to do on a car!

Bibtights, after stacking it on skates.
Carradice saddlebag
I'm sure there's more, can't think of it right now.

Should really sew up the overshoes but they've been in bits for about 3 months(aldi own) and the underside is worn.... I could do with some more but they'll see me out of winter!
Crosscheck is due for first service in a month....batteries charged job-jobbed!

One tyre valve collapsed.
Track pump valve seal given up.

Not had to do anything to bikes or kit on the return to commuting, maybe that's 'cos I take such good care of my stuff
I have misplaced my clear cycling glasses though, had to 'borrow' some safety ones from work last night for the return leg

 

[Archie_tect]

Those frosted ones aren't too good in the dark.

 

[bicyclos]

Full set of stronglight mudguards, Bibia spat lap mudflap, replaced bb and triple chainset, new computer [cateye velo8], magicshine handlebar clamp kit, Astrum 2x 1/2 watt rear light and the usual wash wax/polish........

Big battery re-charge session today - two chargers on the go at work.

Only 20 AA's and 7 AAA's to recharge after my 'home' charger broke - hoping 7dayshop deliver ASAP.

 

[upsidedown]

Two chargers on the go at work - man after my own heart.

 

[fossyant]

All charged.

Now = sticky rear brake cable to sort tonight - isolated to the cable under the bar tape

 

[Archie_tect]

If only you were a bit more thorough in your bike maintenance
I have an issue with the front wheel of my commuter which will hopefully be sorted on it's 1st service/check-up, but apart from that it's running sweet.
