Re:
Thanks chaps. Feeling a lot better now and things have even settled down work wise, so I gave myself the full day off and managed to get this finished (pics any second now)
Several test rides up and down the drive proved the gears worked, after some initial problems when on the work stand, to the point I almost ditched the front mech and went single ring. Turns out the adjustment screws are there for a reason.....
I still hate front mechs though
Front brakes may need new pads, they're noisy as in perhaps gone a bit hard with age, and there was nowhere near enough air in the RST's, although they seem to have lost air evenly both sides, and I hadn't pumped them up for ages, so I'm not too worried about that. Sorted that and the ride was a lot better, previous to that every time I braked hard there was more diving on the front end than the entire Argentinian football team. Not that I watch a lot of football these days so maybe they don't do it any more.....
Still not sure when I will be able to get out for a ride though, lost the daylight in the evenings and I'm away next weekend, but at least he's finished and ready to go when the opportunity arises....
