This mornings self satisfaction exercise rebuilding the rear wheel. Hub has had a light sand and a buff on the scotchbrite mop, new bearings fitted and new rim and spokes. Inner spokes fitted and trued the rest should be straight forward. Think I’ll have a caramel latte macchiato.😜

Great job Johnny, no wonder you escaped early from the gathering yesterday, with the excitement  of another wheel to build!


Think I’ll have a caramel latte macchiato.😜

Fed up with all these 73 options - just give me a bloody cup of coffee will yer?  The 'barista' was not amused!

I thought it was just me, the Coffee options do my head in.
The closest I can order to my "one option" at home is an Americano  with milk.☕☕☕

PS Back on topic I love to see wheel build progress.👍👍👍

Wheel building is a job I always shy away from. I bought a new set of rims years ago. There still in exactly the same spot now.

What is the fascination with stopping at coffee shops?
I just don't get it I won't even stop at a petrol station that sells it.
I must be a minority as I go there for fuel.

Signed up Steve!
Will order some pods and grounds when we return from yet another Germany/Austria trip - hope they don't bend me over a coffee pot with the delivery charge to Orkney!

Sorry for the hi-jacking Johnny - I'll buy you a chocamoccalatteatata next time I see you!
