The 'what you've done to your bike today' thread

After walking my bike home, I had to fix a slow puncture I got somewhere on my way into the city this morning :x This, just after preaching about how good Durano Plus are (I would still recomend) It’s just annoying that I have some massive slashes in the tyre that suprisingly didn’t make it through and this one is as big as a pin prick and it caused me so much grief :cry:

Is this thread kind of like mutual masturbation?

I’m down for that.

I replaced my Fi’zi:k Arium CX with this tasty tasty Concor thanks to Alex!

It’s like riding a couch.

Yes, however correct terminology is: Is this thread kind of like dutch ruddering?

spent half the day trying to remove tubular cement from rim. even hit it with paint stripper. nasty chemicals, mediocre results.

tried the same a few weeks ago. Even used industrial strength car gasket remover. That stuff usually gets rid of everything! But had no success, only made it gooey . Nasty stuff…gave up in the end.
Nice saddle by the way!

De-anno’d a few cranksets, stems and headsets and starting to polish them up now. Mmmmm caustic fumes :slight_smile:

circle jerk is more accurate

i think it would be a bit more comfortable if you had your saddle situated level… :expressionless:

Yeah, it needs to be tweaked a bit, but I was excited and rushed. But it’s not actually as far off as it appears in that photo, and I haven’t slipped onto the top tube yet.

Removed chain from fixie yesterday and cleaned entire drivetrain in citrus cleaner - cleaned entire bike also thinking about what fun everyone was having at the skid comp…

Bike rides as smooth as butter.

Not happy about the prospect of a rainy ride home tonight.

Changed the chainring on Samson from 45t to 49t. It’s at 77" now.

Changed the chainring on Malvern Star from 42t to 45t. Cleaned it a bit. It’s at 80" now. Feels a little tall. I’ll see how I go tonight.

Was going to put a 46t chainring on my Europa, but I ran out of time and had to make dinner.

I love having 144bcd cranks on all my bikes.

removed front brake
removed bell
new RED tyres

I JUST don’t get it. sorry.

LOLzzzz

^ that’s ok…I get it :smiley:

where is this? seems like a pretty specific request… i took my bike into vodaphone today and leaned it on the inside of the glass…

i am sick of bike oppressors

i get it… its nice… riding brakless and bell-less

some bits fell off my cranks but I didn’t put em back on for optimum weight saving capacity :smiley:

I prematurely starting taking down the old ride to build up my new ride, and now I’m just plain disappointed in myself that I didn’t wait til Monday so I would have ALL the bits i needed.
Now I have no bike to ride and a hole in my heart. :frowning:

It’s on Rundle Street in Adelaide. It’s just down from a coffee shop (possibly next door) and I can only assume the lycra brigade were leaning their bikes on there.

Fitted new MKS GR9’s and toe clips. Thanx to Kookie.
