Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I had a very happy little ride last night. I resurrected my MTB - a 2005 Gary Fisher Cake 3. Made a replacement part as a brake bleed plug, serviced everything over the weekend and finished with a final clean and oil last night before a shakedown ride in the near dark woods. That was fun! :-)
Looking forward to riding it more.

GH - me too on the MTB resurrection. A new case of Fetchpoint-itis badge collection is to blame. Who knew that stuck-down Fox frame shock absorbers could be serviced quite so easily for the price of a seals kit and not much effort? Not me, until this week. My next task is to re-align the bearings on my Lefty. I always forget how amazing it is, as a road biker, to get on a mountain bike and hurtle along rough ground. I hear the 'Kick Start' theme tune in my head every time.

Dropped my TI frame off to have the headset put in and the forks cut down. Also having the wheels rebuilt.
