Today little project was new(ish) wheels for the Midnight Special.
Scored some Mavic elite all road+ 650b wheels on evilbay and Liz had already got me some WTB horizons. The wheels came taped, I found some valves in the bottom of the parts bin and after a little time and a lot of thumbs the tyres were on. They blew straight up with the track pump. So there was no need for me to drag the compressor out of the corner and find the hose and the inflator. Wish I’d known that before I dragged it out, spent time looking for the hose and the inflator, but hey.
I’ll pop out tomorrow to get some more sealant as the bottle on the shelf seems to be full of jelly. I’m sure it was liquid when I put there 3 years ago.
Anyway I’m happy and will swap over the discs and block tomorrow as well. Then a test ride.
