I have built my own wheels for over 50 years, I was taught by my Uncle who ran a bike shop. When he retired he gave me his wheel jig and various other tools. The jig is made from cast iron and is older than me. It is very therapeutic and a great feeling to be whizzing along on wheels you buit...

Have the midges started yet? The last time I cycled the road past Stac Pollaidh I was eaten alive

Digging trips, pub afterwards, caving huts. That does take me back. Also going on rescues, got back from a rescue in the early hours of the morningall my mucky gear was in a black bin bag, pre wheely bin days, I left my gear by the bin in our yard.

Great idea just ordered 2 for my battery

Back in the 1970s and 80s when I used to do around 10,00 miles a year, on a road bike. Racing and training. I used to buy 2 new chains and change them over every week. The one I wasn't using I would leave soaking in diesel for 5 days I would then hang it over the soaking can to drip for 2 days...
