Re: 1983 Claud Butler Majestic

Just tried, and you'll need to play around with the cage spring tension and that's about it

Cool... not had a chance to look yet...busy cleaning.

Tried some Bilt Hamber Surfex HD for cleaning / degreasing for the first time. It's absolutely brilliant stuff. Left the cable hanger and straddles in a mild solution for half an hour and they came out sparkling without any scrubbing.

I'm a convert.

Chain had a cocktail of WD40 / paraffin / Gunk / endless scrubbing / WD40. Looks like new now. But I reckon with the Surfex would have taken half the time, or less, and been way less stinky / toxic.

Wheels need some TLC but are well nice. Who wouldn't want to ride on Sunshine?

Those 27” Wolber Champions are getting pricey

Went into the garage to find those mechs. Ended up stripping and rebuilding a QR skewer... :facepalm:

The results are in from the scrap box. DX only has half a cage, currently I'm eyeing up that STX one which looks as if it has everything the 105 is missing. But I haven't even worked out how that cage attaches yet...hmm.
