What Have You Fettled Today?

[Shearwater Missile]

I know that us cyclists are quite resourceful. I have two hi-viz light jackets, one of which has very billowy sleeves and so I rarely use that one for cycling. The body part is just a good fit so I thought what if I cut the sleeves off and make it into a gilet. Looking at the sleeves they are trimmed where they are attached to the body. I thought well I was going to bin it anyway so lets give it a try. Sleeves cut off and you`d never know, unless up really close that it was`nt a gilet. Job done, no more flapping material and just a good lightweight covering as an outer layer to temper the breeze. Why did I not think of doing it before ?

Adjusted the cockpit of the new commuter: lowered the stem, changed the position of the Ergopowers more upwards, turned the handlebar downwards a few degrees. The test ride confirmed that it is a bit better now.

Edit. Done. A 2mm and a 1.85mm spacer

fitted. Minor adjustment to mech limit.

Have you tested it yet to see if it did the job?

Well, next week if I get a tail wind. Works fine on the stand, not changed the index for the other gears, so in theory, shouldn't ghost shift over bumpy root broken tarmac. Only the 15T (6th) would bounce off occasionally to the 13T.
