What did you do to your bike today?

[KevTM]

Today I did do:

Upgraded to 105 rear/front mechs & new chain on the TCX
Slapped on SwissStop RX-Plus Green brake pads on the TCX
Ordered 105 46/36 170mm chainset for the TCX
Ordered Schwalbe Racing Ralph tyres fof the TCX

Bought/Fitted Crank Bros Candy 3 pedals for the Cube Agree GTC Pro

Re-adjusted all mechs on the TCX/Cube, and the missus's Giant Avail

Now just to get off my ass and ride them

Also signed up for another cyclocross event in the Isle of Bute in September plus a HillClimb and Novice Road Race - Should be a good weekend.

Show/tell us all what you did to your bike today!

[Irn-Bru]

Maxed out the tyre pressure in my City Jet's, fitted another bottle cage and some new ergon grips.

Not much.
Managed to lay my hands on an old Cannondale MTB frame in 16" for £28 possibly for the misses and arranged a deal to buy an old Trek 8700 Carbon frame and Tange fork next month for £90.

[JonB]

Cleaned the chain and gave the bike a wipe down with some baby wipes. About it.

Yesterday:

Received BB30 removal tool and installation tool kits. Waiting on bearings now.

(will make a press out of threaded rod)

Stupid BB30s

[Seb]

Cleaned the chains/gears on two of my bikes, then got out on the Fuji and put a few miles in whilst it's still nice

Ordered a led lenser P7 mount for the front and bought a catseye that got good reviews for the rear.

My rides are mostly in the evening and always off road thus I need lights!!

[Howling TerrorOutOfOffice]

Cleaned and setup the derailleur. Fixed the rear puncture.
Changed tyres to Schwalbe City Marathons. <<<Great tyres.
Fitted the rear pannier rack.
Lowered the seat and then gave it to a friend.

I'm not in a cycling mood so he may as well use it.

Looked at them through the cellar window as I took the rubbish out. Less computer and more bike time I think.

Decided to go with Clements PDX instead - fitted, they look purposeful!

Removed old FSA chainset and couldn't fit the CX Shimano chainset as the spindle is 24mm instead of the current 19mm - New BB86 bearing ordered should be here tomorrow!

[The Tot]

Reset the front and rear brake calipers! There is NO WAY in hell a brake lever should go back to the bar!

I think these formula C1 brakes need a bleed before I head down some technical descents! You can't even lock up the rear wheel on a fistful!

Wheeled the Stumpjumper out of the garage for the first time in months, and did about 3 1/2 hours of trails on the Quantock Hills.

This place is still awesome, finding new routes even after 12 years of riding there.

I fitted a different water bottle holder to my XC/Strava bike and had a properly fitting water bottle for the first time. It made quite a difference on my ride not having to stop and unscrew a bottle top every time I wanted a drink!

Next on my list is to raise the stem on my DJ bike by one headset spacer and to get some Shimano (or any brake) mineral oil so I can shorten and bleed a Saint rear brake for my DH bike.

[KevTM]

Best bit of working on cycles is, the other half doesn't mind too much when you do it in the living room

Fitted the bottom bracket bearing and new chainset.
Did the final wee adjustments to gears and brakes.

Hate setting up canti's! fiddly and annoying!!

[Baffler186]

Finished my straight bar conversion on the roadie:

Salvaged MTB bars from an old bike
Fitted a cheapo friction shifter for the front
Fitted Shimano 9speed shifters with integrated brake lever
Fitted new cables and outers
Just need to buy some grips and I'm done

Rode it from work.

Need to replace pedals but don't have the money for clip ins so need pedals that don't look daft on a road bike.

Bled about 40000 litres of air out of my brakes. Stupid Elixir 7's.

Coed Llandegla on Tuesday

Washed and cleaned the carrera ready for selling and bought a new toy...

Gave it a good clean down after my fist cyclocross race! Didn't do particularly well 10th... from last! lol! Great fun though and just need to get the fitness up to be more competitive. Will post the GopRo vid soon.

[Carl_steveo]

My fucking left crank arm is coming loose pretty much every mile. I've only done about 100 mile on it. Still waiting to hear back from the shop.

^^^Been told the same thing is happening to my bike, but it has done many more miles.
I'm taking some loctite.

If it just needs loctite I don't mind I'll sort it out. But at the minute I only use it for the 1 mile ride to work and 1 mile back. Even then it's a flat road and I don't exactly go for it lol.

I've done one 20+ mile trip since I've had it.

Just don't want it to turn out to be defective.

I suspect your bottom bracket is of a higher quality than the 1997 £99 (MSRP) bike I gave to my mate. So hold the loctite and hassle that shop.

Rode 45 miles on the road bike.

Just finished replacing the bearings in the BB of the CX bike.

Have not however used normal FSA or SRAM bearings. Instead bought a couple generic bearings for £2 each, and some marine grease. Removed the seal and packed the bearings with with marine grease,

Lets see if these last any longer than 4 months
