• Brief update with a rubbish progress shot: finally got all the bits in one place, and rear hub serviced as necessary. Turns out the frame was specced for max 23mm tyres with mudguards, in that most delightfully 90s way. Rats. 28s are coming off, to be replaced with some 23s (hopefully) rustled up locally.

    First ride provisionally booked in for what’s looking like a not as rainy Sunday - fingers crossed.

  • That's bad news! 23c and Audax is not a great combination. Is it not possible to use 28c tyres and find a different solution for mudguards?

  • Nah it’s all good - would much prefer the comfort of staying dry from road spray by having proper mudguards rather than an extra 5mm of squish in the tyres, if I have to choose!
