[Dossa]

I'd don two or three if I were you

'Tis a bit nippy out, eh.....?!

Think I'll put the studded snow tyres on...

Are you still riding there and back?

 

[drystonepaul]

Yes I am. Starting from Bollington though so it cuts about 4 miles off the journey each way.

 

[Rampage]

Brave!

Just fitted these, last time I rode them on tarmac I thought the rear triangle was breaking away - should make the commute entertaining!

They worked well for you last time, I'm going to bring the '88 again, there's still a ride left if the front pads and the tryes are the best I have for soft white stuff.

They did, it was just the rider that was lacking that day At the start anyway, I did warm up a bit (sic).

Looks fairly clear out of my window, just a dusting of white from yesterday, reckon it might be great riding conditions as unlikely as that seemed!

 

[elPedro666]

Ooo, if anyone has any blue brake cable outer I'm short about 18 inches, would be very grateful in the very unlikely case it's a match... Mine is Clakes from about '90, I'll bring an offcut for comparison!

Thanks
