Ribble New Sportive, bars have got a tad rocky and a couple trys at the headset havnt improved it much so re-mounted the bung then re-adjust everything.., all good now.

Went to Screwfix on the way home and brought some chainsaw oil. Home, clean chain with cloths, apply chainsaw oil, wipe and wait for next ride.

Couple of light acratches on the top bar have annoyed me, mostly because of my carelessness...partly because its unsightly. T Cut...took 50% of the light scratches off.

Fettled the caravan and towed it up to the Cotswolds for a week. Going to watch the Aviva Women's Tour on Thursday as they come through Ilmington.
Chilling out with a couple of beers and a good book now.

changed the just the rear brake pads on the triban just to see if it made any difference. Stock decathlon pads almost feels like its made out of chalk

My gears were not indexing correctly and also slipping at unexpected moments. A bit disappointing just 200 or so miles after a full LBS service. Anyway, I've re-indexed them, adjusted cable tension and hope that cures the slipping too. Adjusted the front mech slightly too as the chain had started rubbing on it in higher gears. Seem to have cured that, so all in all a successful fettle with minimal swearing for a change.

I got extremely bored so i ended up just switching out the front brake pads also. should definitely notice the difference now (kool stop brake pads)

 

[DCLane]

Fitted a new rear tyre (red Rubino) to the Secteur as it's the only bike I can ride at the moment. One red tyre, one black for a week or so.

.....New groupset arrived and is on ye olde Orange.....But still waiting for brake levers from another supplier........

 

[EltonFrog]

I cleaned and greased the headset on mine and the wife's road bikes, but I think I've got to do it again because I may not have used enough grease.

Hunted high and low for my Campag cassette removal tool...then couldnt find my home made chain whip...I really must get more organised.
