    Mine will be building a good strong front wheel from my existing Mav EN521 rim plus a shiny new Hope hub!

    I just got me a new Cannondale RZ120 as my first toe-dip into the world of full-suss, but the only bad thing about it is the SubZero rims that come as standard. They look a bit fragile for my bang and crash style of riding, so I’m gonna fettle up me a new wheel!

    Anyone else doing any fettling this weekend?

    Dissertation to write… not much riding planned for me this weekend.

    Have you ever built a wheel before, I am thinking of doing it as I have broken freewheel on a rim in the garage that I could play with. Does it just take a lot of patience or is it hard to do?

    Easy with the ‘Wheelpro’ book/PDF, £9 very well spent IMO.

    Fit a new bottom bracket, build a greenhouse, start planting some veg, mow the lawn, get some riding in and hopefully a whole lot of eating! Apart from the riding a boring weekend but last one at home for 5 weeks

    I’m marshalling on a couple of stages of the Torbay Trial

    Always fun to see classic vehicles being thrashed mercilessly up a muddy slope by dangerous maniacs.

    just for the record, this is my next-door neighbour. He’s nearly 80, only stopped doing trials on his Norton Commando w/sidecar a couple of years ago. Hero.

    If the blinking couriers get their thumb out of their backside it will be building up a 456. Possibly in time to take on a skills session on Sunday morning (asking for trouble?)

    It’s in a depot 4 miles from my house. What’s the chance of it getting here today….

    although road ride?

    The official answer is I’m helping a mate train for the Ironman

    in reality, I do like a ride over the hills on a road bike 🙂
