Just under a year of smashing out nursery runs, commuting, big shops and recreational rides with - and very occasionally without - my kid, time for a bit of maintenance and fiddling on this.
Incoming:
New chain (gold) and cassette (silver)
New cables (purple) and hoses (silver braid). New hoses unfortunately necessary as since I changed bar position they're a bit short and have kinked.
New mudguards - these ones are a little too narrow and a lot too floppy
New headset (blue)
Low profile bolts for the I think 16 unused bosses
Tubeless setup - yet to puncture on this but we are going on longer and longer rides, and the idea of fiddling with tyre levers while my daughter is standing cold and wet on the side of the road does not appeal
Colour choices all vetted by the boss
Rear hub service also necessary
Possibly replace the pizza rack with a pelago commuter + lowrider kit - would be good to get the pannier weight a bit lower as the weekly shop + ever growing kid makes the steering a little ungainly
Still absolutely loving riding this, and looking forward to it running even smoother
