 a barn in Somerset
Been hanging out in the bear cave today, recently got myself a bike work stand thingy so used that while removing the wheels.
Fitted new inner tubes and tyres, changing from a narrow 23mm racing tyre to a tyre more suited to a hybrid (28mm continental) that should be a slightly cushioned ride.
Cleaned the gear cassette & fitted new brake blocks while it was apart.
My Crimbo present to self should arrive any day soon :)

That was before, however it wasn't much dirtier afterwards as it was mostly frozen over

My last MTB I had for 8 years and I never had to change them, but I probably should've. £100 will get you a decent replacement set

I hope you got home OK - I just wouldn't risk going anywhere on something with BMC on it! :lol:
