statik is on a distinguished road
Tube is checked, checked and checked again so in goes the air to about 40 psi.



It will be left overnight and checked again in the morning. If all is well it goes back on the bike for a test ride. Gave it a quick clean and a bit of dressing for bullshirt.




It was bloody hard work though but worth the effort. No scratches on the rim and the most used tools were a big rubber hammer and a couple of small tire levers.

The rubber was like a block of iron in the munus 2 temperatures.
What did it cost? �68.00 from a place I found on Ebay. I ordered it direct from them so they knocked a bit more off because I got round the extra auction fees.

I enjoyed doing it. It gave me a chance to look at the brakes and suspension too, all the bits you mostly ignore. The cold was the bad bit.
