Yo Gazz, got the spanner this morning! Ta very much like.

your very welcome

eck, i need to get some rims for the clockwork and I might take a wander over and learn the craft- not any time to soon but would be cool if you are up for it?

 

[The Ken]

If this is a wheel building class you are suggesting I'd be up for that too. Should we just bring our rims and hubs to the xmas night oot? Could make some interesting shapes with a bit of happy juice.

 

[big.eck]

no probs , building the wheels is easy honestly , 3 or 4 wee things to remember and your away.....

if you think i'm trapesing all the way through to glasgow on a train with a bike wheel

Been up Thrunton tonight. Total disaster, disc came adrift- sorted, caliper out of true- kinda sorted, then ripped the sidewalk out of my tubeless tyre- right bastard to get off the rim, gunk everywhere, tubes up and on our way again. One of those nights I guess. :cry:

 

[kaiser]

No building for me this week, broadband still down and can only post from work. Planning to send the brakes away for an overhaul and get the moderns finished.


Still no rides in the offing?

 

[kaiser]

Gazz your cranks are polished
