• First ride on my new (first) build today. Was perfect apart from the fact that I forgot to fully tighten the back wheel nuts when I was sorting the chain tension last night. Back wheel skewed over to the drive side and locked up as I was crossing mare street at Cambridge heath station. Squeaky bum time.

    Sorted it roadside and had the most satisfying ride ever, despite total fuck up.

  • Whenever I tighten the chain I take a 15mm with me for a couple of days... Twice I've been nobbled by an axle nut slipping.

  • I very nearly didn't bring my tool roll. Was delighted to be able to fix it there and then rather than walk it to work. Lesson learned!
