Had this top notch Van Nicholas titanium road bike in for a general service..
On my initial inspection it looked to be a well sorted bike requiring little attention but a closer look revealed a couple things out..
* First the chain was incorrectly threaded through the rear mech (there’s a small metal tab between the jockey wheels and on this bike the chain was fed the wrong way and rubbing on this tab)
* Secondly the handlebar stem was barely done up (finger tight bolts 
)
On any bike I work on I inspect every moving/non-moving part for wear/tear and see if the bike works how it was supposed to from the off.
Bike now sorted and returned to a happy customer

New (press fit) bottom bracket fitted to a Vitus Rapide 29er MTB..with the right tools this is a delight!
It’s a weird one as the bike is pre fitted with pf30-24mm adapters (in order to accommodate a shimano hollowtech II bb).
But a big thanks to @wychbearings for speedily supplying some suitable 25x37x7 bearings!
Job done and back out on the trails

While the mud’n sludge has taken a brief hiatus it looks like its handed the baton to the cold weather gods!

Lovely looking Lynskey road bike in for rear gear issues – culprit was the rear mech cage had seized restricting full movement while shifting from top to bottom gears.. Now unseized plus new cables fitted and jobs a good’n..

Ribble Slr endurance with the latest Ultegra fancy pants Di2 installed.
A front mech has never sounded so nice
