It’s amazing that they are so much cheaper and quicker than the Australian on line stores.

I fixed a flat front tyre and rode my Malvern Star in to work today.
My rear Aerospoke made a weird noise when I skid hopped.
Not happy.
Need to buy a spoke wrench because the spokes are so loose on my front wheel. Time to learnm wheel maintanence.

Ahh discovering the joys of the rear potato. How old is it?

Ordered it at Easter… so what 4 months? And I have three bikes, so it’s not ridden every day.

The potato company started packing around the rear track hubs with epoxy (it says so on the little sheet that comes in the box) because they were developing play between the hub/wheel interface when hipsters started tricking/skiding on them. Seems to me to be a temporary solution, perhaps not working too well. Expoxy cracks pretty easily… hopefully this is not the problem.

I don’t think it’s cracked. I hope. I’ll have a closer look tonight.
So, who wants to buy a black unmachined rear potato? Will swap for black Velocity Deep V wheelset, unmachined…
I’m semi-serious.
