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

Having had another look at the headset but it is one piece affair hence why they wouldn't separate, all sorted now just needs a fine tune on the freeplay .

Swapped the front marathon out for another marathon that I have a matching one for the rear.

A 1 mile test ride completed with a few more gears than I started with so gave the trigger shifters a spray of degreaser and left it to soak in .

A garage session this morning has seen the rear specialized nimbus swapped out for a marathon that matches the front one.

Headset has been tweaked by removing the top caged bearing and using loose ones.

And all 21 gears reported for business on the 2.5 mile ride test.

Well another 8 miles have been travelled with all the gears reporting for a much freer action when the trigger lever is activated.

Such a smooth and effortless bike to ride.
