I never replaced the tyres in the end, but the old ones are still going strong. Fitted the mudguards and was happy for a long while, until I got sick of having the rack on the back and never using it.
Removing the rack itself was fine, but refitting the rack-specific rear dynamo light required a bit of work.
I spent too much of the day chopping at a frame mount for a d-lock with a hacksaw and came up with a solution.
It's not neat or pretty, but it does the job for now!
Bike looks a bit naked now I reckon, and I feel like the lack of a rack at the rear accentuates the need to get the steerer chopped.
