Failed fettle last night. I pumped up my gravel bike tyre last night so Id have a wider tyre back up if it was icy. Well it was icy but the tyre was as flat as a pancake this morning.
Which reminds me... I need to check the front pads on my CAADX. I would be surprised if I hadn't checked them before taking the bike to my LBS for a fork replacement in September but I don't remember if I did or not. Either way, I had better check that I have spares.Time for a new pair of pads then. So took it a bit slower until I got home.
Quick change over to new pads, all done and dusted.
Fitted some panniers to my KTM this afternoon, the frames were a bit of a pain to fit but pleased with the results.
Bags are roll top but lock which was what I was after. Made by Shad.

Bled a set of Magura disc brakes yesterday for the first time. Turns out it wasn't the dark art I thought, although I didn't know Julie Brakes have a small pressure release hole on the top.
