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?
Not exactly the bike, but bike kit. Put this up this afternoon and finally got the bike kit out of my bedroom, https://i.imgur.com/KPsDsu3.jpg |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
It’s a bit scuffed in places and some of the paintwork is decidedly shonky Craig, but overall it’s not bad. |

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?
New battery fitted this afternoon. The bike now starts instantly at the first press of the button. Once I'd finished, I made the most of the warm weather and took the bike a few miles down the road... |

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... |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
Looks good Tam. They blend in well enough to look like they could be factory fitted. |

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
First ride after fitting the new front tyre. I'd forgotten how much better the SV handles with a new tyre instead of the worn out one! |
