Time & Tires
So, it's 4:23pm and I've been up since 6:30am, and all that has happened is:
- Have breakie, shower, dress, go for a ride.
- Come home, very quick snack.
- Strip & clean bike. It was filthy, even though it got a good soaking with clean water after the ride you could hardly tell.
- Rotate tires. Damn! These UST just won't reseal without a decent compressor if they aren't new... involved a trip to the servo.
- Shower & change again. Ahhh... human at last!

Broken connex chain link
Whilst it is tempting to keep using those nifty connex quick links, you should bear in mind that they don't last forever. You can get away with using an old one while you go through a couple of chains, but leave it too long, and they suffer from metal fatigue.
