I have been working outside for most of today fixing up bikes. I started off with my friend's bike first but had to stop when I couldn't get the rear sprockets off . I then turned to my new acquisition. My Viking.
I had to sort out the play in the rear wheel bearings . I removed one cone and it looked perfect with no signs of wear . The other side wasn't as good ! There was a deep groove on one side. I tried to see if I had any similar cones in my tool box but found that the pitch of the threads matched but they were different diameter axles .
I wondered if I could reduce the roughness with a file . Not very well ! I then tried some 600 grit wet and dry . It worked ! I got most of the groove out , just a few small pits . It should last my cycling especially when I keep swapping my bikes .
This afternoon I rushed to get the Viking rideable . I borrowed a chain off another bike and set off for a test ride . It feels very light! The one thing I discovered was not to turn the steering with a foot forward ! It has a short wheelbase and your toes and front wheel overlap. There are a few things which need sorting but it is a very nice ride . I did about 5 miles and had fun .

I'll agree with the latter, but not with the former...

Would sir like to choose a foil, epee or sabre in order to duel it out?

People kicking a ball about for a bit getting paid obscene wages holds no interest. I always wondered if people were as passionate about life, community and the important things in society eould the eorld be in s better state?

The honour of non footballers is at stake: @Roseland triker: Sirrah, I hereby volunteer to be your second.

Not in women's football, there isn't... The game's only been fully pro for three seasons.

Arsenal are heavily involved in local community projects, btw.

Another grey & cool day in Suffolk. At least it only rained twice today - the first was while I was on the way to work and the second was while I was on the way home.

Hope you didn't get too wet...

Fully prepared (just like the boy scout I never was) with waterproofs and cap for the ride and a spare pair of socks in the locker at work.
