Wheel building, because it’s so relaxing and satisfying.
Bleeding/working on Hope brakes, because it’s so easy.
Working on coil spring Marzocchis, because I just love Marzocchi forks.

Washing the bikes after a muddy day on the trails.

Wrapping fresh bar tape. Both the experience and the results are highly satisfying 😉

I also love removing the entire cassette (after not cleaning it for 2 or 3 months) and submerging it in strongest chain degreaser I can lay my hands on and then scrubbing it with my toothbrush. And fitting a new chain at the same time – bliss!

Building wheels…..it’s like bloke knitting.Almost transcendental (sat on floor half watching a film with a big mug of tea).
