It's been another really busy week, not only for me, but for the mail men too. Several pairs have wheels have been delivered and fitted, a pair of forks, lots of tyres, disc brake rotors, headsets etc.

Below are some pictures of latest bikes to be repaired and upgraded. Sadly there ain't many action shots as generally I don't have a hand free to take pictures Of me working, especially when I'm upto my eyes in grease & oil too.

New red superstar headset fitted

The kinesis forks below had to have the steerer tube measured & cut and the star nut installing before they could be fitted to the bike.

Also, prior to that a new superstar grand bambino headset was fitted to reduce the 1.5" headtube of the cannondale down to a standard 1 1/8".

Kinesis forks fitted to Cannondale F300 mtb. New headset also fitted though you can't really see it.

One set of wheels which were delivered this week went on a customers scott scale 30. He'd specified that he wanted a second pair of wheels so he could easily swap between on-road and off road without having to swap tyres all the time.

Below are some pictures of the wheels and bike.

New wheels, tyres, tubes and disc rotors

The new wheels fitted to the bike.

The other wheels went on another customers mountain bike, who had requested good quality strong wheels which could be run tubeless. Again superstar components can't be beaten for quality and price so I placed the order with them. Fitted to them are schwable hans dampf tyres which are good all round tyres suitable for a wide range of conditions and terrain.
