What Have You Fettled Today?

[Andy in Germany]

Nearly all the garages around here are full of `toot`. We have a car and the bikes in ours ! Others have parking problems, it`s like musical chairs but with cars !

Which means that effectively the local authority is funding most people's storage. A good deal if you have a car.

You are right. Lots of those vehicles are up on the pavements as well. Who polices it ? No one. I have to change the way I leave my house on the bike as very often there is a pickup truck parked right by a junction obscuring my view. It`s bad enough in the car.

"Fettled"... ahem.

Nice work @Andy in Germany. That’ll teach it.

You are now the resident Twisted Fire-starter…..

Car and bike in mine, the rest of the vehicles on the driveway

If drivers were charged an annual £1000 supplement for using the road as a storage facility they'd soon stop doing it. Don't buy a cow if you don't have a field!

Lotus Elise would fit perfectly in there

If you stack it sideways it'd save even more space.

Bit of enforced fettling again. When I came back on Friday night something was rubbing. I remembered tonight before the next commute to diagnose what it was. I'd kicked or something the front mudguard so the side wall of the tyre was brushing against it. So I straightened that tonight so the tyre could run smoothly.

My other fettle today was more pleasant. I had cleaned the good bike yesterday so checked the chain (still not 0.5% stretched) and reapplied drip wax.

Sadly I don't fit in a Lotus Elise, as my ex discovered when she bought hers. She conceded the point and bought a Boxster at replacement time.

Little bit of fettling this afternoon.

Noticed when I got back from last weeks ride on the Fairlight that the front disc was bent so set about sorting that and then saw that the rear was the same so was probably riding with both brakes dragging but all clear now.

Also sorted the Trek utility ;the front mudguard was moving so ended up fitting a bolt through the mudguard on to the front rack so it's now totally solid.

Also tweaked the gears and the rear dynamo light was intermittent so re-soldered the cable and now all good.

You live down my street then? That and the family at #10 who seem to be building a 3 floor underground bunker. How many lorries of muck do they have to take away?
Then the concrete mixers.
