New watch day!!!
Just took delivery of this Maen diver which will be my new daily work watch. Met my requirements of a small/thin diver.- It was a surprise the bracelet is screw link rather than push pins as suggested on reviews. I’ll keep it on the bracelet for time being rather than the included custom rubber or nato.

Got the Veloflex Masters from Bike24 during a sale a few weeks back.
I’ve only rode Vitorria’s current Corsas and the tread on the rear wheel would wear out by 200km.
It became an expensive habit so went back to back to GP4000s. From what I understand the Corsa Controls has the same rubber compound as the Corsas but just thicker. May give them a go if I ever find a deal on them.

Was curious about this wider tyre trend so I went for the widest tyre that would clear my Canyon frame.
Purchased these 35mm file tread tyres with a very long name: Vee Tyre Co’s ‘London Road Gravel Commuter’ for £30 a set from PlanetX.
To be honest I wasn’t expecting much at this price point. I’ve been using these for my daily total 22km commute through London (as a key worker) in the past three months. I run them at about 50PSI and I gotta say they’re really comfortable and they feel as robust as Panaracer Pasela PTs. They’re slower than the GP4000s I normally run but I’m not racing through London and after those double shifts I appreciate the added comfort.
Did also pick up some Veloflex Masters in 28 for €46 euro for the set last week. And I gotta say they were the easiest tyres I’ve fitted to my tubeless ready wheels. Hopefully they’ll last longer than the Vittoria Corsas.

Finally got my brompton back from storage.
And it’s time to update it as it’s an early pre 2000 model. Everythings stock so I’ll be putting new brake calipers and I’ll need a new wheel set (rims are worn).
Will this 3-speed wheel set from SJSCycles fit?

Or is the spacing or axle diameter different. (I remember the front wheel used 13mm wheel nuts).
I just use a tiny bit of contact cement (tin from Amazon).
For removal I take off the bezel. From the under side I get a guitar pick / blunt knife and can pry between the bezel and insert. If I use too much adhesive I’ll dip a cotton bud in some isopropyl and dab between the bezel and insert, that softens it a bit.
