So, my wife is a childminder, and today she had 8 after-school. Of the 8, 6 were on bikes (including my daughter)

Of the 5 other bikes (my daughter's is obviously always in top condition wink ) there was the following required;

8 tyres needed pumping up, not one was above 10psi
1 headset needed tightening
1 BB needed tightening
3 brakes needed a tweek as they were either rubbing or squeeking
1 chain guard needed removing straightening and refitting (cheepo plastic thing had got chewed up by the chainring)

I quite enjoyed myself biggrin

No Bill submitted biggrin

I'd just finished fitting the new seatpost binder to the road bike (not the biggest of jobs TBH) laugh and fitting a rack to my MTB for our mini tour next weekend.

Just a quick scrub and lube of the chain today.

Getting the now old bike (which has been on turbo duty all winter) prepped ready for my first go at circuit racing with the local club on Thursday.

Good tyres over to my AR24 wheels, tweak brakes, as the AR24's are narrower then the carbons which are now on the nice summer bike. Clean and lube the chain and dial in the indexing.

I'll give her a washdown before the race too as it's quite dusty from garage duties.

These are good for getting into the cassette.



Or just a pack of big fluffy pipe cleaners from the pound shop
