Yellow Goodness continuoes. My old bar tape had about 1500 hours of riding on it already, so decided to replace it with a new one:Scrappy600 wrote: »Yellowy goodness!

After exactly 24 hours travelling and hoping all the ground staff in Baltimore, Boston and Dublin airports were going to treat my carefully packed box nicely, I unwrapped this first thing...
Went for a nap, got back up and fought the jetlag by starting on it...
Hitting the 'Order' button on Wiggle as soon as my head is clear to get the rest of the parts before the week is out.
Then I fitted a new VO saddle on herself's bike...
Not a bad days work.0 -

Finally after a pretty crappy month of commuting to work, I cleaned up the bike and fitted Crud roadracer mk2's, I had to cut the wider section behind the crank as their was just no way it would line up otherwise(anyone else have that problem?) Anyway Hopefully these will make the ol commute a little more comfortable and keep the bike a little cleaner;)

I did my first proper bit of bike maintenance today. The chain was dropping a little when freewheeling so rather than getting it tangled in the spokes/ ripping the derailleur off and all that merriment I decided to take the rear hub apart, get the cassette off and lube up the freewheel.
All went well after the initial "Oh sh!te there's ballbearings everywhere". Probably should have looked at Youtube before I started:rolleyes:
Took my time, cleaned everything, greased it up, put it back together and now it's spinning like new.
I made my own chain whip tool too, no point doing DIY if you can't get a bit Maguyver with it

Have those on my bike. Great for keeping a large percentage of gunk off mechs as well as oneself. Had to cut a bit off rear guard as well - think they are designed like that as may need longer to fit some bikes properly.0 -
