The old SKS guards on the Eroba are beyond dead, so when €40 Honjos turned up I couldn't resist. I then learned they come undrilled so they've been put away waiting for me wanting to spend a day fettling. Any and all tips & tricks for fitting the guards are appreciated.
I've also bought a rivet gun so I can fit some (three to be precise) flaps. And so I can put rivnuts in the white frame. Instead of brazed in bosses the frame was flow drilled and tapped, too lightweight a solution for my cacky hands.
Oh and I have a (black) 32t chain ring for the 🐊 but my puny arms couldn't undo the crank bolts tightened by a certain danish fellow twice my weight. I'm also looking to replace the 10-45 cassette with a 10-51, that was a bit of a false economy mistake.
All in all things aren't going my way with bikes atm.
On the upside I quite enjoyed last week's Mysore yoga class and I'll do that once or twice a week for the foreseeable. And I'm planning on buying some running shoes come Black Friday (it's not unhealthy consumerism if it's premeditated, right?). If I keep both things up all winter I'll be in better april shape than ever before.
