Thankfully, it was indeed only a bit more toe-in that was needed - the adjustable spanner method worked well, though I must confess I had to go a bit beyond 'gentle' without straying into full-on gorilla. I did a decent 25 mile ride this time, with plenty of descents (not that you can really avoid those round here anyway) and there was only the very slightest squeal when braking hardest, which is good enough for me.

And now just a slightly gratuitous shot featuring a favourite local road name...



...and a final one looking towards another place with a good name – Dungworth.

The bike was well worth your efforts. Great scenery too. Glad you got the toe in sorted.

Thanks - sometimes it's pretty hard to beat riding a bike like this on a sunny day. This one was a definite 'passion project', so I'm particularly glad it eventually all came together - and just in time for some actual warm weather

If it was easy everyone would do it
