Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Back to adjusting the gears on my mtb this afternoon. I think it's time for a parts replacement and refurb. The chain and complete gear set are as old as the bike - 23 years old, and have seen better...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Dug out one of my bicycles from the temporary pallet shed where it's been stored for the last year. Gave it a clean and a bit of a service ready for a ride with a friend in Dyfnant forest tomorrow. I...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
After just about ten years of procrastination I finally took out the rear brake torque arm, cleaned it up, and shimmed it to remove the small amount of lateral play at the base end. Looking at it, I...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I know Wolverhampton fairly well. If I was going into the city itself I probably wouldn't take the bike, but the service is on a green burial site outside of W'ton so should be fairly safe.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Odds and ends: started the bike and checked the charging rate, then checked chain tension and tyre pressures ahead of a trip to Wolverhampton on Monday for the funeral of an old friend.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
My daughter Eleri recently bought a 1921 Singer hand crank machine from a charity shop, in a generally lovely, and working condition. However the wooden handle was held on with a really nasty...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Having fitted the new battery, and cleaned the bike, I shall get out tomorrow and give it a good coat of ACF50, and squirt some GT85 into all the switches.
Then hope for some dry weather to go...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
New battery to be fitted tomorrow. It's a gel battery, like the one it's replacing. The old one has been on the way out for a little while now and this winter has seen it off.
If the weather is ok...
