What Have You Fettled Today?

[Deleted member 1258]

Managed to fix the washing machine tonight, belt off and pulley loose, now not only is it working it no longer sounds like a bag of nails when its spinning.

Nothing.

Whoop !

 

[I like Skol]

Well, Monday night actually. I called at Bro's house in South Wales while on a camping break and ended up spending the evening at camp stripping his back wheel and rebuilding the rim and spokes onto a new hub. Very therapeutic and helped a few beers disappear along the way......

He now has a Skol special back wheel, they are highly sought after.

Started to clear out the shed, to make room for more bicycle related stuff and/or bicycles.... it's surprising how many empty paint cans you can accumulate over the years.

Anyway, the proudest edition is the "Wall of Tools" (might need to change the name... don't want the neighbors to be getting the wrong impression). It isn't finished yet, and I'm sure over the coming years more shall be added to it however for the time being it contains pretty much all I need to maintain the roadie (including a paint brush for touch up work).

Off topic a bit.... fettling a set of arrows. Refletching them as I think these heavier arrows will work better with the more powerful bow I'm shooting. The old vanes were a bit knackered.

Will the wall stay as tidy as its contents expand. A promising start though.

Hopefully, I might need to get a new piece of wood to mount to the shed to keep up however!

It sure beats sticking your hand in the current tool box, a lucky dip of sharp points.

The front derailleur packed up the other half's bike this evenings while we were on a ride, manged to get it working well enough to finish the ride,

Mrs P was out all day, so I smashed a four pack of Newcastle brown and spend an idyllic day building the winter bike project, which was a pile of spares and a frame really until now.

Took the knobby shod wheels of the MTB and slapped on the slick shod wheels

 

[Archeress]

Fitted new front and rear brake pads to my mountain bike that I use casually.

Two new Conti Race Kings fitted to my hardtail, both quite worn and a big wood screw finished the back one off last week, looking very good for tonights ride.

Just did the weekly checks on both my bikes.

 

[Mattonsea]

Prepped the bike for 10 days of cycling in Brittany. All lubed and polished , just have to do the boys bikes now.

Changed the cable for the rear derailleur as the old one had been damaged in an 'off'. Went remarkably smoothly for me.
