Giant Propel carbon road bike in for a pre holiday service. A lower geared rear cassette has been fitted to help with the climbs.
A safety issue that has been fixed was a snapped seat clamp, not nice !!!
The bike has been extensively checked over and is now holiday ready 👍🏻

Well this was a challenge.
Pretty much evening on this bike was worn or seized and it fought me all the way.
Some of the original parts fitted were not optimal for the bike, the bottom bracket width and the chain line were poor.
The service has given the opportunity to correct this👍🏻.
Just test rode the bike now and it’s a smooth ride 🙂

Wow, this turned into quite a job.
Press fit SRAM DUB BB, the BB had been run until the NDS had collapsed.

This meant that the inner bearing fell out and left the bearing race firmly stuck in the frame.
I tried all the usual methods, all failed, ended up in the “last chance saloon” with a Dremel. Had to carefully cut through the race without cutting into the carbon frame.
Thankfully I managed it 😁😁😁😮
Not a fun job though

Much loved Bordman Road bike in for a service. The rear hub race was worn so it was time for new wheels.
Luckily for the owner I had a set of used hand built wheels in stock and to go with them some nearly new wider tyres to give the bike a more forgiving ride on today’s roads.
A full service was also carried out and after a test ride so can confirm that the bike is riding superbly again 🙂

This rear wheel had 2 snapped spokes after the chain derailed into the rear wheel. On closer inspection 6 spokes were very damaged making the wheel unsafe.
The spokes have been replaced, the wheel tensioned and trued and it’s back on the bike 👊🏻

Quick pit stop for a bottom bracket, while the bike was in the stand it was noted the gears were stiff to change..
A hanger straightened, new cable and gears index had the gears operating smoothly again 👍🏻
