Today was the day that I would attend the LBC Maintenance Session at Ealing Bike Hub's workshops near Greenford. I have been to a Brompton Workshop before where I learned quiet alot, but this time I didn't get lost and turned up good for time.

The Legend all clamped up ready to go. At this session I wanted to change ALL my cables and have a good look at the gear hub.

I see another purchase of one of these bike stands Park Tools PCS-10 so much easier to work on The Legend.
The next few shots are of various advance  processes or different repairs/replacement parts & tools needed .

I would like to thank David E & Michael (Hub Wizard) B & The Ealing Bike Hub for taking the time and effort for letting members of the LBC have an awesome LBC Maintenance Class. As well as David P for organizing everything else too and ofcourse everyone that managed to come along and make it an enjoyable but dirty oily day.
With all the rides quiet a few of us have planned we really do need to make sure our Steel/titanium steeds are in tip top condition.
 
That was a fun set of pics. I can see you all did quite advanced work on your Bromptons. I attended a maintenance course too on Saturday in Bermondsey. I wish I had now taken pics. I need to find the time to write up about it.
