Mudguards now! Well, one as neither fairlight or fendoff send the bolts you need to fit them 🙄 assume it's an sjs job or machine shop....

These were a bitch to get back on, thank goodness for tyre key! The Strael is now tubeless 😁

First run on the new bike. It's a superb machine, so smooth over bumps. I think it's the carbon fork, it feels very fast too. A marked improvement on the Faran but thats now in its gravel era and is very much enjoyable too.

Life hasn't let me ride the new steed yet but at least it's still looking pretty in the lounge 😂

It's new bike day today which also means in the next few weeks I have to face the sad realisation that the problem is me and not the bike

Any fairlight strael 4.0 owners out there who can tell me if I can use pdw mudguards with 35mm tyres?

Still very much enjoying having a dog. Gets me out the house on walks every day, probably a good thing. If only she could ride a bike, I'd probably be riding more. My claim against the guy who hit me is going to court 🙄

Last time I rode my Brompton I kept thinking there was something wrong with it as it felt like I was going to fall off. Checked the tyre pressure today and both were at like 20psi 😂 pumped them up and the problem is solved! I definitely need to get riding more.

Well we must be mental but that concludes our road trip of the UK. 1190 miles done in 10 days, stays at the Cotswolds, lake district, glen spean in Scotland, Edinburgh and then the peak district to break up the drive home. Not bad going for an EV!

Fitting roof bars for the first time really feels like a go and see your dad activity. Times like this I miss him, fuck cancer!

What shit metal are they making bromptons out of? Never had this on a bike previously, it's kept sheltered when not in use and I don't live near the sea. What's the solution, a stainless kit or Ti?

This was a good read, I'd love to do it one day but I think I'd rather finish in Cornwall. When does anyone really get time for stuff like this though?

Can we ban hybrids from public charges? Up to you if you want to pay a fortune for a 12 miles of range on a jaecoo (the golf is a gte so I think fully electric ) but I actually need it!
