New wheels on the commuter thing. it all went together far to easily, I’m waiting for a tire to explode or something.

Some final adjustments this morning and a slightly longer test ride and it’s come out really well. Rides nicely especially for a bike we only paid £15 for about five years ago that he’s used daily.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
Swapped a rear tyre on the Carrera Vengeance magnesium road bike as the tyre I had on was used and had a flat spot. A temporary 23mm tyre's gone on for now, together with a mudflap onto the mudguards.

Also, my Merida Cyclo-Cross commuter bike received a new chain and replacement cassette together with front and rear brake adjustment. All ready for commuting until Christmas.
 
Nicked form the 'My Ride today' thread:

After spending a while cleaning my bike, I reviewed my bibs and the Ass Saver did it job 👍

Lol, I could do with a Back Saver though 😅

Just as I was putting the bike away, I remembered the Triban that had been stored at my mates place had one.

Ignore the junk mail, it stops the drip wax falling on the floor.

I could do with putting a larger cassette back on my fully guarded commuter/winter bike and a new chain to accommodate it. I had had a 11sp 11-28 on it for ages, even though it is a 10sp bike. I just adjusted the upper limit screw. But another respected lbs (who unfortunately closed after 50 + years) convinced me whilst something else was getting fixed, that they'd have to change it to a 10sp cassette. The only cassette they had in stock though was an 11-23 and a bottom gear of 38x23 isn't ideal.
