Nice walk with the Mrs, woofs, and my dad this morning. A lazy afternoon followed by a lovely roast dinner. Now watching SPOTY.
I won't lie I'm a bit nervous Face mask, rubber gloves, bleach, spray disinfectant everywhere, window wide open. (Door closed) hand sanitiser, hand soap, washing bleach you name it it's being used
Good news, annoying news. Picked up my Beemer wheels from Steve at TPCS - they look bloody great. Silver powder coat and laquer. Thanks @Sev for the recommendation a while ago: http://www.tpcs-magnesium-refurbs.co.uk/ The annoying news is that my mobile tyre bloke says that my choice of Metezler Roadtec01SE are out of stockand I'm struggling to think of a good alternative. Not the end of the world tho', as I won't be taking either bike on the road for at least a couple of months...
First thing I went to the local walk-in vaccination centre to see if I qualified for a 4th jab given that SWMBO had one a week ago. I don’t qualify as I’m not clinically vulnerable apparently. Then I came home and fixed the boiling tap that SWMBO had managed to break whilst I was out at said vaccination centre. After that I went climbing in Sheffield And we’ve just been out in the close for a gluhwein and mince pie with all the neighbours and kids. We last 75 mins as it was Baltic Tonight I will mostly be watching TV including the second episode of that new psychological thriller “The Girl Before”
Sure - it's Lee @ EMJ Bike Tyres and I've used him a couple of times. Good bloke, has bike(s) himself, responds quickly and is quick & efficient. Bristol based and has a wide operating area. Can also do wheel bearings & brakes. As for being competitive, I don't really know! I certainly don't feel ripped off and he comes to my door... https://m.facebook.com/EMJBIKETYRE/ or call 07590 554600
...and he's recommended Road5s as an alternative to the 01SEs for Hermann (R1200S) so he'll be here on Friday with them I better make some mince pies
