Perils of buying 2nd hand and goings on in my garage

A sad session in the garage this morning getting the Phil Sherwood road bike ready to hand over to its next owner tomorrow.

I cheered up with a rear mechanism adjustment to try and sort the occasional skipping of gears on the scruffy Trek and it seemed to have sorted it out on a quick road test 😁.

I like the manual "overdrive" front gear change, reach down and pull on the cable for a few revolutions on the big ring!!

You will be glad to know that the excess cable has gone after this morning's 8 miles.

An evening session on the Trek's headset with a clean up and some fresh grease seems to have cured a rattling noise which is good.
