• Failed with a couple of my weekend bike jobs.

    Gold chainring bolts are too long, so don't tighten, bit wank, but hey ho.
    Wider tyres are on, sit very nicely under the mudguards, they still have tubes in, I'm done with fighting with a standard track pump to get tyres inflated. May order one of them Airshot things.

    Successful with other jobs though,

    Hulsroy bottle cages fitted, lovely they look too.
    XTR rear derailleur has been cleaned and fitted, buttery smooth rapid rising abounds.
    Nitto S65 seat post has been fitted.
    Mince pies have been eaten.

  • Fantastic weather for mudguards.

    I've not had chance to do a proper ride yet, was hoping to go out this coming Saturday, that's not gonna happen though, having a royal visit (my mum's coming down for the day).
    Just from riding to and from work it feels very good, probably feel even better once the tyres are tubeless, Airshot and a new track pump should be with me by Wednesday, looking forward to seeing how well the Airshot works.
