Bikes need looking after. Emerging from Winter - even tho' not used much, they need TLC. Elin's bike' s headset needed stripping down and re-setting. Funny Aheadset type- sealed bearings - top one is ball race and lower one needle rollers. Not much could be done except clean it up. Then re-setting with centre bolt against star washer. Final tighten of the stem bolts. Should be okay for a while.
Next day, the BB went. Very clicky and rough. RAM model replaced with Shimano BB 68x113. Note that the front deraileur needed resetting as out slightly in chainring 3.

YOu were right. My recently bled back brake was great to start, but was spongy by the end - I need a new lever, probably. Wonder what the warranty covers?
Also, back wheel bearings loosening off. So the disc is also loose in the caliper.
Needs doing!
