What Have You Fettled Today?

Not sure I comprehend the context of your comment. But:

Mine particularly: but infact any eyes would have struggled to traditionally ‘observe’ what a Digital vernier couldn’t seemingly measure as being out of the ordinary.

I believe I quoted the relevant passage?
Without observation there can be no science - and no art.

My LBS damaged two of the rim decals last week: when fitting the new Panaracer GravelKing SS rubber. Which I then Googled are renowned as utter t^#ts of a tyre to install…….🤦‍♂️ **So absolutely no slur on them. I failed in my efforts. Which is why I went to them !

So. Decals were purchased:

And the smallest; most subtle fitted tonight - just one (Each side) opposite the valve / tyre logo on each wheel:

Same LBS has also tightened / checked / adjusted spokes on my way home today - after 50-60 miles on new wheels.

Put the recently-trued back wheel back on the e-bike. I'm starting to wonder about swapping the whole Swytch setup across to the cyclocross bike I got from @palinurus a while back. Braking with standard road brakes is a bit marginal, I'd feel way happier with Vs or a front disc.

Getting my Scott CR SL ready for its last trip, off to the Alps for a week taking in the two ADH stages of the tour, the Scott’s first trip there was 2013.
New chain, cassette and wheels deep degreased.
New tyres and sealant going on tomorrow.
Also a resetting of the brakes and front mech adjustment.
Drip wax chain.

Bit of fettling yesterday.

Stayer All Road = Tri-Bars re-fitted and tidied up cables, front calliper sorted and re-bled so now all clear and no rubbing.

Fairlight Faran = Back in to touring mode with front rack re-fitted and front light moved plus Halo/Hope/sp ally wheels back on with Halo tyres.

I gave the Claud Butler I picked up yesterday a wipe-down and lubrication, together with getting the rear brake working. Well, it's got a new cable, but given it's almost 80 years old and has been stored for 30+ years 'working' is a somewhat variable term. Underneath the grimy bits around the bottom bracket it's all fine, which was a relief.

Confirmed as a 1948 International Club by their FB group.

Apologies for the terrible photos - I dropped my phone on Sunday whilst on a ride and it's got a smashed screen and both camera lenses are damaged:

Given the colour and frame I'm coming round to it being a 1948 model, particularly as this one from 1949 on eBay is the same. It looks like part of the long drop-out on the RH side has been removed in the conversion from Sturmey Archer to derailleur. The rear wheel is a 26 x 1¼" from 1985, but the front is much older.

The vintage Brooks saddle could do with some cleaning and feeding, so that's the next job after a (very) short test ride ...

You lucky boy!

Replaced chain. Replace outer and cable for rear gears. Relaced recumbent seat. All went smoothly and short test ride. Longer test ride this afternoon.
