Managed to get out for a quick one around the canal and forest trails near me. Absolutely chuffed with how this bike is doing so far. Need to track down a cheap 2nd wheel set to put some more road friendly tyres on.

Thank you! Yeah the Control Pista was the other I had recommended so looks like quite the investment. Obviously the bike buyers brain then says "well if you're dropping that much on tyres, try and find a 2nd hand wheelset".

Seems as good a place to ask as any: good starter tyre for velodrome riding? Just finished by level 2 accred at Glasgow and I'd love to actually ride my Pre Cursa at its spiritual home! @M_V hoping you can advise on the specifics for Glasgow?

Also in today's news, picked this up (photo from the ad) for the turbo trainer. Plan is to build it up for Mrs velohobbit as the 26" Raleigh wasn't a good fit for her. In the new year I'll trip it and replace the groupset to 10spd shimano MTB so I can reuse the shimano 5700 shifters if I ever decided to make it drop bar.

mudguard chat was stressing me out - binned them off for some decent gravel. VO washers are a great shout for when I try again.
