This is a late night post, but I keep forgetting to write it! Not much will make sense, but when does it ever?
It was the clock changing day last week, also known as 6 months since I installed my wrap around mudguards on my CX/Road/Gravel bike. That's when I said I'd take them off. Also a great time for a full service.
So, it's been a while, I've done things I should have written about, but here goes something that's happened over the last few weeks. I upgraded my MTB to 9 speed!

So the mudguards: They needed to fit within the not massive clearance of my cyclocross bike. It's got clearance for 35mm tyres with good mud …
I didn't take enough before and after photos of this project, but here's the finished project: A working bike, from something that was almost working but damaged.
