Just blew the bead out on my front bmx tyre. Tan walls will be gone tomorrow night and replaced with something else. Tomorrow I will do some research. ---

Put a 44t Campagnolo chainring on (up from a 42t) on the Malvern Star. Got it off ebay. It was listed as a 1/8", but it’s 3/32". :roll: Oh well. It’s in good nick. Took off the crusty leather off my $1 Cinelli Unicantor and cleaned up the plastic. I’ll see how that rides tomorrow. ---

Some how managed to break the quick link in my chain on my way to work… I reckon I didn’t do that clip thing properly. ---

I put drops on my Samson. Looks good and rides awesome. Kinda thinking about getting a set of Nitto drops and another Nitto stem to keep it all Japanese. Feels wrong have Cinelli bars and stem on there. ---

As im waiting for my replacement wheel, i stripped it and re-bogged some dents and pits i missed, re-sprayed it, and gave the missus mixte another coat after a light sanding. Also got her a 27’ coaster brake rear, pick that up end of the week. Working on a corner shop cruiser, stripped to bare metal and a couple if coats of clear, goin for that raw look. ---

Cleaned my chain, cleaned the rear sprocket, lubed the chain, checked the tension and everything else I could think of and my frickin’ Malvern Star is STILL noisy. I reckon it’s the Aerospok amplifying the noise. ---
