What Have You Fettled Today?

[Rickshaw Phil]

After reading the thread "kinda lucky" I've been to check the crank bolts on my bikes. Were they tight?... No, not very.

Been slowly building up my new road bike (decided to give one a try after thoroughly enjoying myself last year on my Giant Escape Hybrid).

1. Fitted new Garmin Edge 800 and cadence sensor.
2. Polished the bike.
3. Fitted new (smaller) saddle bag.
4. Polished the bike.
5. Fitted Ergon GC2 grips (very comfy) obviously I went for a flat bar setup.
6. Polished the bike.
7. Fitted Shimano PD-M520 pedals and set shoes/cleats up (what's the worst that can happen? )
8. Stood back and admired my handy work (oh and gave it a quick polish )

p.s. - every time I get a new car I polish the living hell out of it too (until the novelty wears off!)

Fitted a new rear light which cost £2.21 including postage from Hong Kong . Used a spot of superglue as the bracket was a bit loose. Seems very bright - will give it a roadtest tomorrow night.

Adjusted brakes and filed rough edges off my brake levers after my recent off.

Just fitted a new chain, and whilst it was off gave the derailleur jockey wheels a good clean.

Lowered the stem on the hybrid. Out of boredom more than anything else.

"Unfettled" SPDs, a computer, a light and a bottle cage from my road bike, which I've sold.

just mickled the new gold wippermann chain I fitted at lunchtime yesterday.

 

[potsy]

Cleaned the CX, Mickled the chain and fitted an old Marathon+ to the front, to match the one I fitted to the rear on Tuesday.
Oh and finally got round to taking the pie plate off

 

[Pennine-Paul]

replaced four spokes on the rear wheel
Had to grind the old freewheel off and caught a few in the process
twin fixed for me now
Why are freewheels such rubbish quality

Because they are made of cheese like my Keo cleats, just changed another pair, I know riding fixed is harder on cleats but this is ridiculous. Eyeing up Speedplay but not sure on the wear factor on those either.

Phenomenal day today. Got the bike and the cleaning kit out the garage about ten this morning and I've just finished now!!! managed to change the battery on the comp' sensor

That is all

Will be cleaning the chain of my work colleagues' Cube MTB with my shiny-new Muc-Off X-1 chain scrubber, should be interesting as I don't think he's ever cleaned it, and he's had the bike for about 2 years now
