Forgot to post yesterday, but out and about at Penryn Uni campus again for Dr Bike with (previously sustrans!), a quiet day on the bike front with 8 bikes through, but a lot of students at home for study leave still, some new brake blocks, fitted, gear cables, a lot of freeing up from salty air! 😉
Helen provided a bleddy Ansome pasty from Mary's pasty's for half 9sys! 😂 Always keeps me happy! 😂

Not so many pictures from the second visit to the track, lots to do! 4 new halo wheels build for the fleet, new tires a plenty, chains, cassette cogs fitted, rear hub services done, plethora of new grips fitted, tubes, brake pads, headsets, all prepped ready for the weekend! Little C2 becoming more the work van! 🤣 Busy old day but rewarding knowing they are all safe to use!

Another good customer dropped off a project bike for his lad, had been loosely put together to get sizing but needed some finishing, steerer trimmed down, new brake pads fitted to both brakes, gear cable replaced after being far too short! Alright if you only turned right! 😂 Bottom bracket greased and spaced, headset greased and ready to go! Great looking bike these!

Road bike in for a refresh recently, after a winter of living outdoor under a tarpaulin it was time to get it ready! Hanger had a slight bend to it! Both hubs serviced, new brake blocks and headset bearings, new chain popped on and good to go!

Couple of brake bleeds on some old hopes this week, lots of travel developed on the levers, not a lot of fluid left in the reservoirs! Cleaned out and fresh fluid through, still some life in them!

An ebike in for a full service and frame bearings recently, rear hub had play in axle and a broken spoke, previously broken a few spokes that owner had replaced, unfortunately, they had been laced direct hub to rim rather than the traditional over, over under, or under under over pattern, quickly rectified and set a out releasing the ratchet ring to access the inner bearing, well, Heat, using the tool in the vice and wheel for leverage, big impact wrench, long bar, nothing I tried would budge it, in the end the stresses from attempting to pinged a further 5 spokes, a quick chat and a new hub and spokes ordered, wheel rebuilt, frame bearings replaced, headset bearing replaced, gear cable replaced (oh I love headset routing and having to drop the motor and almost remove the rear suspension to allow the angle to run the cable through!), fork given a lower leg service, and finally replaced the rear mech as the cage was twisted in itself throwing the shifting off, and the usual sram Flop on the pivot developed! Took a lot of effort this o e, but glad to have it back to fully functional!

First of 2 visits to the track this past few weeks to go through and organise the hire fleet for this seasons prep, lit stop do, a lot of very worn components, largely rear hub cones due to the abuse they get, a lot of grips to be replaced, tyres, chains etc. Thorough list made and parts ordered ready for the next visit! Always nice when pip pops in to say hello too! Always gets a good fussing! 😎
