Treated myself to a new set of wheels with a built in power meter, the first power meter I have ever had..... I do feel sorry for it as I doubt it will record any figures it can brag about to its mates.... so just to make the whole thing even more exciting, I brought a new cassette from Decathlon on next day delivery, some new Gatorskin hardshells, a new pump as my Park Tools one broke and finally a couple of self sealing tubes from Halfords.....don't tell CBH how much I spent please.
Anyway, as always the Gatorskins were tricky to get on but eventually after 45 minutes, the first one was on. Go to pump it up and....yes, the new pump doesn't work. So, off to replace that. Back to try again.... white sealant everywhere as the valve doesn't work. So, that tube comes out and 45 minutes later I've managed to install the other one....that works fine. One wheel down, second to do........................where the same crap happens again. I don't have any spare tubes so that will have to wait until tomorrow.
So, I have one wheel one...oh, apart from the fact that the new cassette hasn't arrived as promised....indeed, upon checking it seems it hasn't even been sent yet.
This would be a rant if it wasn't for the fact that I get to play with shiny stuff tomorrow.... hopefully.
