New Bike TLC

I finally got around to mend Rachel's old bike.  I sent it to Halford for the bottom bracket, but I was going to do the rest.

The usual way to get muck off the bike, and lets leave all the muck outside the house.

A massive thorn in the front tyre.  I got a new tube.  I just need a presta pump to pump it up...  The front wheel bearing is on its way out...

Borrowed a chain cutter from Matt.  New chain on the cleaned gear also looks lovely, but this won't last...  The 112 links of chain is 'only' stretched by half a link, and apparently it is fully stretched.  I have kept a few links as reference, so I could use it to measure up in the future.
