What Have You Fettled Today?

[ColinJ]

I tested the setup with the bike on my workshop stand. Very sudden gear changes did not cause any problems. I will go for a test ride later to see if it can now cope with Yorkshire's rough road surfaces !

The chain stayed on throughout a 30+ km test ride. I will be doing 50+ km over rough roads and long descents tomorrow so let's see if there are any chain problems on that.

On ride yesterday my speed/distance/cadence all went haywire. As I have speed and cadence sensors on bike(I don't rely on GPS on head unit as under tree cover and in some areas get poor reception). Anyway, it's happened before so I knew issue was a dead battery in one of them(cadence) which then affects the rest. I do carry a spare CR20232 but as was on group ride I didn't want to delay so just forgot sensors and used GPS so had speed and distance and just now got everything working again.

Took the 531 for a spin in the early sunshine. Though cycling technology & complexity seems to increase each year, there's still a lot of worth in how a Cyclone II GT* shifts a chain over a 5-speed freewheel: fantastic.

Back home, adjusted the High limit on the VX front derailleur, picked out debris from the Paselas, then cleaned & polished the bike.
