After getting rid of the stubborn seat post I could fit the bike with a new seat post and a new saddle, switched the saddle on my Pugsley to a old refurbished one that I had dressed with leather, then I took the one from the Pugsley and put it on the Crescent.
Also replaced the missing brake pads in the rear with fairly modern MTB-style break pads, seems to work great! Adjusted the handlebar and took the bike out for a quick run.
Decided to go to Skuthamn, shy I don't know because I should have foreseen this... The gate was closed because a train was about to pass. Had to wait a long time before it turned up and passed...
Well, got through eventually and the bike feels quite ok! Found a photo spot. Shifting gears and breaking seems to work properly, perhaps some minor dragging of the brakes in the front that has to be fine adjusted and finally I have to switch the pedals to "SPD" type pedals and I'm home!
See you on Wednesday then?
ReplyDeleteHmm, that can be a risk to consider! :)
