Current Projects chat and miscellany

So far my only review of the tyres is that they look sick. Have only been for a short spin round the local park, and what that mostly established was that my attempts to decontaminate the brakes were a failure, so I was mostly focussed on not dying as I came down the hill. Going to try setting the pads and rotors on fire to see if that improves matters, and if not then I’ll have to get new ones.
