Not bike but bike related - just been sorting out a multi-tool. It had got damp then not been dried thus it was a little rusty and stiff so a bit of lube and some massage (ooh errr missus!) to get it back into shape.
Rebuild my old Curtis single speed with some 650b gravel tyres
Build my 9 year old a 26 inch bike with a 13 or 14 inch frame so both kids move up a size in spring
road bike has done nothing this year but could do with new rims or sell the dt240 wheelset and but something carbon
Smuggler doesn't need much, will maybe get some new brakes and the Curtis can inherit the ones on it.
Wife's trek needs brakes bled, tubes, chain, cables.
Will probably all get left till a week before we go away at easter just to keep things interesting
Cotic Soul- Just ordered pads and will change them, bleed brakes. Service x fusions and thats it, everything is working belting.
Headset bearings to change on Abigales Enduro after a seasons racing.
Need to look and scratch my head as to why two identical setups with the same chainring offset puts the ring too near to the chainstay on one.
Really need to get round to photographing and advertising all the stuff in the garage that's not been used.
Saracen Hack commuter - needs a new BB, creaks something shocking so I don't like riding it now, but with the crapper weather, will have to take that over the Pickenflick. Rear wheel bearings clean & regrease (first time in 4 years!)
On One Inbred SS Rigid. Hose down. Lube. It will probably need a new freehub at some point this winter, kept getting seized (ish) last year and not expecting it to get through another winter of mud, wet, hose, leave in garage!
Cannondale Prophet. Probably nothing. Just lube and put to bed (apart from trail centre days / frozen ground days). Shock needs attention I think, but as it's the first FS bike I've ever had, I don't really know anything about them.
Pickenflick - keep expecting the rubbish OEM wheels to develop bearing / freehub issues. Hopefully purchase another set of (better) wheels (still haven't decided on 700 or 650b) and keep the current set shod with road tyres for (my rare) trips out on tarmac. New chain probably too.
Fat wheels still awaiting to be tubelesserized, have been since the snow melted. In April.
And my foot, which has been an ongoing project since July...
Money completely wasted and back on the OEM organic compound pads. Squeal fixed.
I think I could have predicted that (now) as I keep reading about how once you’ve bedded a set of rotors in with one compound, you shouldn’t switch compounds. Plus if you bed a set of rotors in badly they can apparently squeal. Hence new pads = new rotors for me, and another afternoon sprinting up and down getting funny looks from the neighbours
The bike was pretty new when I swapped them so I was hoping to get away with it. The rotors have been properly cleaned, but it didn't make any difference. I nearly bought new rotors, but in the end just swapped the pads back instead.
Grumble, grumble, <SQQUUUEEEEEEAAAL> grumble, grumble...

If there's any wheel/tyre type that demands to be tubeless it's fat bikes.
Your foot though, that doesn't need to be tubeless. Just concentrate on the fat bike tyres.

As long as it isn't toeless, I'm happy tbh
I might wash one of the bikes properly. That would be, like, the second time this year.
When either of them dies mechanically, off to the shop whilst I ride the other.
It's the only way I can ensure they get maintained properly 🙂
Riding the fat bike at the weekend and noticed a bit of crunching when in bottom gear. Got the bike up in the workstand: nothing wrong with the stop screws or b-screw. Then I realised that the noise was coming from the chainring. Hmm. looked like the chainline. Two 2.5mm BB spacers on drive side, one on NDS. Off with the crankset and the BB cups and move one spacer from drive side to NDS. Put everything back and ...
silence 🙂
wifes XC bike will be getting a new drive train/fork service in early december ready for the puffer
her trail bike will be getting new wheel bearings next week to be ready to stand in as a back up/alternative bike for puffer
MY ragley will be getting a new Drive train towards spring - the full shooting match is knackered - jockeys/chainring are near round , had my moneys worth.
My road bikes going in the bin* after this season its gubbed(15 years old and god knows how many miles) - new one arrives in feb
Wifes road bike will get a new drive train come march as the current one is fit for little more than turbo.
Budget pending i shall upgrade the wifes commuter for dynamo hub and corresponding lights.
*not quite but close , its away to be a mates commuter in edinburgh
New brakes - clean discs, swingarm, hub, and fit new Deore 4 pots that arrived Friday.
Swingarm - swap seat stays over as it turns out they were assembled wrong handed!
Re-index gears after re-routing mech cable.
Try and find some bargain 130mm travel 34mm stanchion forks!
Hand to fully heal so I can ride properly.....
When the ground starts getting soft I'll switch over to my winter tyres*
*let a few PSI out of my summer tyres.
A hernia operation.
And possibly sort out the brake rub caused by the bent rear end on my Kona Precept.
FS needs both shocks servicing and the rear hub isn't right.
TFtuned for the DTSwiss, is there anywhere left that does SPV 3 way servicing? (As an aside, a long time ago people reckoned the shock on LRS would be destroyed within a year, still looks fine to me).
Alfine Hardtail is grand, although the new shifter (normal rise) isn't quite as good as the old rapid rise one.
My summer road bike needs new rings, cassette, chain and bottom bracket. Bet I don't get round to replacing any of it before next summer.
I’ll just be riding my bikes and fixing whatever breaks like normal.
i guess I’d better sort the tubeless out on the fat bike in case it snows.
Mega: Rear shock service, dropper service and (finally) trim brake hoses.
Scout: Nothing at the moment 😎
Daughter's Carrera: New wheels, new brakes and new 1x10 drive train.
RX4s to fit to the Tripster,
CK DropSet for the Tripster,
Shimano M6000 brakes for the boys bike,
CK Inset 7 for the Litespeed,
CK Inset 2 for the Yeti,
CK PF24 for the Stache,
Ritchey stem for the Kona,
Alfine hub service, new chainrings and chain (over Christmas) for the commuter,
Build a set of CK based, 650b, narrowish, carbon 12/100, 12/142 XD wheelset wheels for a tryout on the Litespeed. Need cheapish rims through, so will need to wait until something comes up.
New frame
Seriously considering selling my roadbike and if I get enough putting it towards that new Kinesis G2. I would love a fairlight or a mason but maybe a stretch too far! Anyone want disc giant defy advanced.
I need to...
Fit Pro Core to the Transmitter's rear wheel, which I have singularly failed to do for over two years now.
Send a non-functioning Thomson dropper off for a service so it actually comes back up again, again...
Change the linkage bearings on my heritage Blur 4X which I very rarely actually ride
Sort out the squeak on the missus' Soul and the associated squeaks from the missus.
Change the worn rear tyre on the cross bike before it flats mid-ride in the middle of nowhere.
On the plus side, I sent my Joystick and Diablo off to Exposure for fixing last week, so even if nothing else works, should be able to see where I'm going.
Bed in brakes on new bike when it arrives, and also set up suspension and dial it in, then ride it.
