What Have You Fettled Today?

[Heltor Chasca]

I realigned my chakras today with some new bar tape for my tourer.

For the less spiritual amongst us, the 7 sacred chakras are Earth, Wind & Fire, Crosby, Stills & Nash and ABBA.

A friend has suggested Chakra Khan exists amongst the enlightened.

Don't forget Bobby Shakra, although I heard he'd gone to sea.

A happy hour spent removing bits of the bike and generally checking it over ready to pack it into the bike box on Friday. going to give the frame a final clean now that everything is off and we are good to go ... just got to make sure I pack all the bits in the box !

Bought and fitted a bell as I'm sick of canal walkers in a world of their own ignoring me when I give a polite warning shout...oh and repaired a puncture canal side due to kind scrotes smashing glass on the towpath round the A62 bridge Failsworth.

I'm getting more and more tempted to get one of these,

Or in the centre of Cambridge, where it's full of suicidal pedestrians...

A couple years ago I was on a shared use path and saw a gentleman walking in the middle of the path with his back to me.
I intended on giving the bell a quick ring to alert him of my presence.
I accidently hit the airzound instead.
I've never seen someone jump so high.
I apologised profusely and he laughed it off.

Tempting...

Tempting...

If you have oversize bars (31.8mm) you might have issues.
The clamp airzound fit is small. 25.4 - 26mm bar type.
I had to fit an extension thingybob to get mine to work.

I have standard bars AFAIK, so should fit. Might be a tight squeeze on the hybrid though as there's not much handlebar real estate. Ah, the joys of riding a teeny tiny bike...

Started fitting Di2 to a friends TT bike, it's the latest Di2 no option for chainging into the big ring yourself, synchronized shifting only. could be interesting, the bike is a Giant Liv. All a bit tight and fiddly. may take me a while.

The new shifters arrived today so I fitted those and indexed the gears. Again.
A single strand of wire had snapped at the pinch bolt on the rear mech so I had to fit a new gear cable too.

Cleaned the drivechain on my daughter’s Frog 62. Running beautifully now.

Serviced 3 sets of flat pedals - 2 x VP plastic jobs and my Raceface Chesters.
Chesters were like new inside and needed nothing doing, but the cheap VP’s were dry as a bone so they were stripped, cleaned, greased and reassembled. 3rd time they’ve been done now and are spot on again - not bad for £5 a pair
