Changed cleats - been needing to do it for ages and kept forgetting - until about 10 minutes into a ride.
Started swapping out slicks on XC for something a little more knobbly. Tubeless - bit of a faff.
First wheel cleaned and dry seated.
Second wheel cleaned and now drying. Unfortunately, the tape peeled. There seems to be an oil that weeps out of the Rene Herse tyres. This oil got under the tape. Spent an age cleaning off the residual dried sealant. Anyway, hub now drying and ready for retaping tomorrow.

Swapped out the Chinese 25mm tyres on the Colnago for Vittiria Rubino 28mm. Took it for a quick run between rains and the difference was night and day.
Italian bike and tyres (in name). So obviously going to be better.

It came with 90’s wheels, and I had fun mentioning to an Italian fan that my Galaxy on Weinmann hubs rolled further than the Colnago on Campag hubs. Then I put on period Mavics (same tyres) and it didn’t
Have to see next year how it does with the new tyres.
