You are going to be bankrupt at this rate. Time to do it yourself, or trade your husband in !

Once I do my bike maintenance course in february I'll be doing alot more of my own tinkering, I'll save a fortune!

Spiked tyres have come today, just wondering whether to start fettling or leave them for OH tomorrow. Also, new Wald basket, trailer hitch and dog walky thing need sorting out.

Make sure you have sturdy levers for the Spiked Tyres. Mine have only eased up after 4 years. Hard work !

The way to fit tight tyres is to lubricate the rims and beads with a sprinkling of TALC.

The perfume doesn't matter, it's the talc that lubricates.
