More on the bike project

This is progressing quite nicely. We've finished stripping and cleaning the forks & are just waiting for some fork oil before reassembling them. Front and rear brake calipers have been stripped, refurbished and reassembled. We have slightly different approaches to this work. Here I am with my favourite tools.......


Whereas Viv has a more considered approach....


The workshop has expanded from the dining room into the kitchen where we have more work surface. The cooker hood proved to be a useful extractor fan when we were using brake cleaner on the various components and other household bits and pieces have also played their part! That's one of the forks being cleaned with the wrong end of a brush!


Next week we'll reassemble the forks providing we remember to get the fork oil!

Incidentally all the pictures of the work are here, if you want to take a look.
