I have also just cleaned and re-proofed my Goretex jacket and overshoes, ready for more wet weather.

I have fettled my new Exposure Joystick MaxX2 - it provides 280 lumens of power.
It is the same as the one on my bars ( black and orange coloured ) but this one is for my helmet during the darker commuting months.

New tyre put onto the Schmidt dynohub front wheel. Fitted Bush and Muller IQ Fly dynamo light. Basic check over.
Plotted a route into the GPS and fitted that to the bike.
Tonight I am riding 100 miles to London with some mates.
Then once there, I turn around and come home again, another 100 miles :-)

Cleaned my titanium commuter today. After a week of atrocious weather she needed it.
As you can see, my Gore Ride On cables are keeping all that crud out of the system !!

I ended up taking apart my rear hub and giving it a super deep clean.
I really enjoy bringing it back up to a super smooth riding standard.

Nice job! I did that not to long ago with the MTB, the road bike is jealous now and thinks I like the MTB better! :) Now I have to play fair and overhaul the road bike after a long season!

The crud on my frame will be no more !!
I have installed mud flaps made from damp coursing plastic. It is really thin but due to the reinforcing, does not flap about when attached to the mudguards.




And then last night I picked up some new reflective markings from work for the rear mud flap.

Woohoo! This weekend I fettled new tires for my bike! Some WTB Graffiti's for the winter road riding. :) I gave up on my road bike after my second time out and double flatting after running over glass. I decided I'll keep using the MTB. However, the knobby tires on the bike weren't going to cut it. I found these tires which are "race tires" for hardpack and work crazy well at Ray's Indoor MTB Park in Cleveland! They were on sale for $16 bucks each with a regular price of $56! AWESOME!!! So I changed the tires and put 25 miles on them yesterday! They will be great to get me through the winter when it's not snowing or raining I can put a few miles in to hold me over until February!

Old Rubber!

New Rubber!

I just fettled my neck and right shoulder. It takes 30 minutes of stretching every morning to get tuned up (or fettled, I should say). The day goes much better, riding or not, if I prepare for the day in this way.

"Fettled"...I like that. Have I also heard the term "unfettled"?
