Ride It Like You Stole It!
Degreased the cassette and chain on the FS Pro, and greased the headset cartridge bearings.
Whole lot was filthy again after getting caught in the rain near Lyme Park. Oh well. Lasted less than 24 hours

At least you'll have something to post in here tomorrow.
I'm so, so glad my build doesn't have internal cabling, I think that would tip me over the edge!Had to install a barrel adjuster on my new Ceepo. It was internal routing so I wasn't looking forward to this task. Anyway I removed the inner cable for the rear mech, simple enough. Cut the outers blah blah blah easy enough. However it was getting the cable out through the final hole which was an utter bastard. Just general potching about and using very small hex wrenches to try and hook and guide the thing out I finally did it. I then went to re-index the system when I noticed I fudged up the routing, bypassing the bottom bracket cable guides completely. shoot! I forgot about them. I would have to start all over again!
Having gone through that process again, this time correctly I then had to figure out why my brifter wasn't working. Did I re-route the cable incorrectly again? Was it a tension problem? No clicking or nothing from the brifter. It took me a while but it was a simple error. I managed to bypass the mechanism in the brifter that does its clicky thing. Having clicked the brifter to its slackest setting (would be the smallest cog on the rear) I repositioned the head of the cable. Test ride and everything seems OK. Thank fudge! Can finally start drinking too many ciders!
Is there an actual easy way to route internal cables? I'd be happy enough to order a proper tool for the job. What an orrible procedure!

There are specialist kits for it Park tools do one to suit all sorts of inners, outers etc, and jag wire have a tool too.
My two carbon frames have very tight entrance and exit holes for the cables so will be a bugger to do. Even the LBS have to fiddle for a while.

As someone else once said, "like trying to shove wet spaghetti up a cat's arse".
