I very nearly joined you thanks to one car driver yesterday who decided it'd be fun to tailgate me coming up to a T junction, and then 10min later another one decided to do the MGIF trick in a narrow section. I'd rather forget about both incidents to be honest.

A good clean early in the morning for two of them.

Serviced the commuter and looked longingly at the Cooper, promised her a run when things got a bit cooler...

went silly buying a bunch of anodized bolts and finishing pieces for one of them. in my defence, some of the original steel ones ares starting to get surface rust despite barely leaving the garage

my ultegra 6700 right shifter rubber hood had loosened over the last few weeks (has around 50,000km in it), and was moving around disconcertingly.
Dr Google said take it off and throw in boiling water for 3-5 mins, then into ice water. It did firm it up, and 3 days later, still no movement.

I've sold most of them

I only have bike #2, #13, #14 and #15, with #2 dismantled for almost 1 year now and is due for major rehabilitation

Ah, now it makes sense

Rode it...got annoyed with intermittent noises.

At home, cleaned seatpost, new carbon paste, reinstalled, tightened saddle rail bolts, lubed ratchet mechanism in right shifter, replaced knackered right hood, lubed and cleaned chain.

Noise possibly still there.

If so, possibly headset but also possibly wheel bearings

Not BB as freewheeling doesn't fix it. Gah, I want a second bike with guards for when it rains!

Apparently broke the right shifter cable. Looks like a roll to the LBS and a train trip to work tomorrow for me.

Replaced the FD clamp on bike #14

Last night I enjoyed some garage time without my little 15month old 'helper' so:
Re-installed rear disc adaptor to SSMTB,
Fitted slick tyres to the 'ute' rigid MTB, and thought about putting new brake cables in (currently have park brakes, when you pull them on they stay until you push the levers back), didn't put new cables in as I'm considering new levers.
Fitted a new rear light to the commuter roadie,
Changed tyres on a 16" bike to sell off. Boys like skids.
Missed repairing the puncture on the fixie, got too late.

rheicel · Postby **rheicel** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 8:50 pm

Started selling some parts of bike #13.

trailgumby · Postby **trailgumby** » Sat Feb 01, 2014 12:01 pm

Swapped wheelset on the roadie and gave it a clean after a midweek ride on damp roads.

Topped up tubeless sealant in Junior's Mtb

, this bike is kept at my workplace, so it needs to be clean. Glad you made it home safely. I am too worried riding alone thinking Cops will stop me for not wearing a helmet.

Making it a 1x10 since the front derailleur is such a pain in the arse.

rheicel · Postby **rheicel** » Mon Feb 03, 2014 9:06 pm

Installed proper cable grommets (Bike #14)

Walked past in the garage lamenting the fact there wasn't time to ride until later tonight when I ran out of motivation.
