What Have You Fettled Today?

[PeteXXX]

Replacement of my Brommie rear mudguard has been postponed..
DPD tried to deliver it to No 39 and no-one was in.
Hardly surprising as I live at No 8 🤷‍♂️

Picked up new alternator today for my boat but will fettle Sunday.

Swapped freewheels on the Galaxy, as the old one had lost use of the fastest gear. Turns out, so does the replacement. In a fit of pique, I’v adjusted the limiter, and now have a 2x4 gear set up until I can source a new freewheel.

Pulled the NeilPryde Nazaré out of storage, lubricated and checked everything before use tomorrow. I forget how light it is (~7kg) compared to the other road bikes I tend to use in poorer weather. Before putting the bike away last year it received a new chain, inner cables and tyres, so over-winter has been fine.

sorted out the FD on the cx bike , a good dose of wd 40 sorted it out but the last time i rode it i dont remember it being wet so i dont know why it decided to seize up .

Reverted my ebike back to 7 speed gears. I've never managed to get 8 speed or more indexing on that frame.
Fitted the 9 speed to my Ribble instead. Indexing perfectly after 5 minutes...

I was all set to get out for a ride just after lunch when I had a text from a friend asking for help with a seized pedal on his son's bike. He'd had a go at it himself and had already managed to break two hex tools. I should point out that said friend has spent his career in the motor trade so is no stranger to spannering and has a lot more experience than me in sorting out seized or rusted fixings.

Fortunately the chainset is a SRAM Dub which I've worked on before so it was easy to get the crank arm off and with a bit of strategic application of boiling water and a breaker bar I was able to get the pedal off easier than I thought it was going to and without any further damage. A pub evening is now on the cards as my payment.
