I am not a major fettler and will only do it when the occassion demands
Well that moment is here with the Mille next weekend
Step one, cleaning and swapping the chain went fine
Step two, putting on the Michellin tyres fine, but as I was doing this I noticed the front gear cable needed replacing
Step three, replace the brake blocks..I decided they didn't need replacing
Step four, fixing that dicey brake cable
Step five, it won't shift into little ring big sprocket. Oh dear and on closer inspection the rear gear cable clamp is holding the cable in a useless insecure way. What was I thinking when I replaced the cable? So adjust everything and redo the gear derrailluer step up
Step six, have another look at the brakes. I was gonna just take a little slack out of the cable but as I was doing this I noticed that one of the front blocks was disintegrating. No problem, I have spares but...
Step steven, the screw on the shoe holding in the block is frozen and the hex key hole goes round under pressure. So I remove the shoe and hacksaw a slot in it
Then it's teatime. More tomorrow.
