My fettle at the weekend was pretty minor. The front mud guard clip onto the front brake bolt had come a little loose. So the front of the guard was able to drop to the bottom off clip and occasionally rub at low speed. I loosened the brake bolt, slided the clip up 3mm and tightened the bolt again faster than it took to type this 😂

A bit more fettling today. I got the knockabout bike out late this afternoon just to clean it but noticed a few things and before I know it I'm doing a minor service.
New chain, new front brake cable and noodle, new brake blocks both ends and adjusted the rear wheel bearings. Just getting dark when I came to pack up so I'm glad I didn't leave it any later.

Had a bit of a slidey skid on my spikey tyres a few days ago so just replaced a few lost studs.

Oiled chain and couple of drops on spd springs whilst I was there. I do the oiling whilst out on rides to avoid getting oil on patio and traipsing it in. Recumbent nice and quiet again.

Do you also spray the whole pedal platform? I find doing that also helps with creaking from the shoes that SPD are famous for
