I have a very minor oil leak from someone around the swivel, probably form the swivel seal. We’re talking over the course of a week perhaps a few drips. Annoying but not a disaster, I had put new oil into the axle and swivels a year or so ago, so I will drain out the oil and replace it with “One Shot” grease, this should to be thicker and hopefully not leak out. I left the oil draining over night so as to get most of it out. Drained the oil out, it looks a little emulsified. The seal and swivel look okay, perhaps the seal is just old and failing to press against the swivel well enough. Next job is do the refill with the One Shot stuff.
This is a pan break that I modelled and produced the drawings for so that a friend could make it.

Hannah found that she had accidentally brought a tortoiseshell butterfly into the house. We think it came in on a bag that wound up in the bathroom.
The bike trailer that we have used to have a clamp arrangement that was meant to attached to the rear trailing arm right before the rear axle. This worked just about okay on the Claud Butler, short of the fact that it struggled to grip the small bore tube that the bike was made from. Then Dad kindly gave me his bike, so I tried it on that and it wouldn’t fit in the right location due to the disk brake calliper being there. So I set about making a custom mount. First off I stripped off the existing clamp arrangement. I forgot to get a before photo. It just so happened that there are two threaded holes at the rear of the frame that I guess might be for things such as a mud guard, pannier rack or kiddie seat. So I utilised those and just bent a bit […]
