Didn't get round to posting yesterdays diary entry, so here it is.
I built up my bike, he blue On-One 456 Evo that I got for my birthday. Took all the bits of my old Carrera Fury (and no, I didn't clean them) to get it running. Went pretty smoothly apart from...
The adaptor in the headset press got stuck inside the bottom cup an wouldn't come out, until I froze it, with frozen chilli...
The drive side external BB cup kept trying to cross thread, so I had to fit the non-drive side, then the crank (from the wrong side) to guide the drive side on straight.
The DMR single speed tensioner has a "bit" in the dropout to stop it rotating, which is thicker than the dropout on the steel 456 frame, so it was fouling the wheel, hacksaw deployed... Followed by a conical v-brake washer to space the bolt so it didn't also foul the wheel when done up.
Oh, and the seat clamp from my old bike was too big...
Pretty smooth otherwise :-)
The Belgian GP was pretty good as well but I missed some as I played with the bike build. Hoping for a seat clamp before Wednesday and the Wednesday night ride, might actually need some lights this time...
