What Have You Fettled Today?

Quick look at the Stayer all road as the rear was flat ;couldn't see anything obvious so pumped it up to see how it goes.

After an hour still ok so will leave over night.

One of my floor pumps had a blockage in the pump head, no air passing through at all.
So, good old Mr RJ to the rescue once more with a vid on how to disassemble the head

Once apart, small bit of wire poked into the hole to dislodge some crud in there, then reassembled, and now works a treat.

I’m always fettling with something on the bike but all that will change when I find out where this bike shop is. They will get all my work even if it’s just checking the tyre pressure…..

That cannot be real, Trump has normal sized hands !

Was fettling until this Hornet appeared about two foot of my shoulder in the workshop.

What was supposed to be a quick check of the Faran ended up including washing the Grepp bar tape, cleaning the Cambium saddle (with a bar of Schwalbe soap!),cleaning out the inside of the mudguards and treating them with some protective oil (some old Silkolene stuff I have), clearing out some crap from the rear mech and chain and finally re-wrapping the bar tape.

Not been as clean as this for a while.
