And it's dry so the mudguard issue is less of an issue!</p> <p>(I will, however, be on the hunt for a long handled allen key to finally synchronise all the pedals on the bikes, and buy a new puncture repair kit). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2263&page=4#post-24908 Thu, 24 Feb 2011 10:11:58 +0000 wingpig 24908@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Wheel off another bike?
