What Have You Fettled Today?

[cyberknight]

Commuter got a new cassette and chain plus I replaced the rear mudguard with a new one as it had broke in the middle.
The shifting seems to be cured 😁

Test fit of the new pannier rack and panniers to the CX bike. Have used 'P' clip mounted rack previously but the rack swayed to much. The bike has no braise ons. So got an M-Part QR skewer mounted rack. Now its been set up, should only take a few minutes to fit.

A customer brought this in: the wheel wouldn't turn, and they couldn't understand why.

To be fair it took me several seconds before I noticed...

At least they made sure that the brake rotor wasn't jammed in the brake caliper.

Fettling on the commuter: changed pedals, adjusted brakes, rear derailleur and tyre pressur and waxed the chain.

Washed 3 bikes ( and the car) and adjusted the fd of the new bike properly, I don’t think the supplying bike shop did a proper set up! One of the brake levers needed bleeding as well. Don’t mind too much as the bike was a pretty good bargain.

Fixed a flat. Picked up a thorn on my way home. Only noticed as I was putting the bike away after my commute home.

Topped up the sealant in my good bike incase I get the chance to use it tomorrow. Its saddle nose was about 2 or 3deg down so I put it more level too.

Saw that a few times in the shop.

New Alpine forks arrived for one of my Volare bikes, ony took about 10 minutes to change, the Sabath September frame i bought from Ebay waiting for outter cables, Always thought Sabath cheap bikes but really impressed by this frame and will delight in finding out if it rides as good as it looks?

Attached a nice little bell on the commuter. Five hands would have been helpful as long as one is smaller and stronger than the other.

I’m rebuilding an old timetrial bike into something useable ( and saleable ) for the local community bike shop. The bar end shifters were both badly seized into the bars from years of being sweated on as the bike was on an indoor trainer, I had to cut the bars up to get them out. Took a while to clean them and recut the internal threads so they could be salvaged.

When business picks up in the spring I don’t know if I want to go back to working for Trek, this fixing up old stuff is a lot more fun.

Not today, in fact two weeks ago now. I repaired our tumble dryer which had developed a terrible grating noise. In the end I replaced the main drum bearing and support wheels at a cost of about £60 in parts. Much cheaper than a call out plus parts, and better than buying a new one.

In the hope it stops raining after this

I gave the chain a wipe down and lube.

New bike day for me today so spent my entire lunch break fettling. Garmin mount, mudguards, bell and lights fitted, flipchip swapped round and brakes adjusted again. Ran out of lunch hour to get bottle cages on, so I’ll sort that in the morning hopefully before a short test ride. Weather was too grim for a first ride today, and this was my first new bike since 2018 😮
