Pretty nice! What are you going to tune?

Btw, I love your wooden mudguards. Did you make them?

The brompton mudguards are Nisna, they stopped making them. The Bime Friday are recently custom made by Woody’s Custom Fenders. They are gorgeous IMO. I have 2.25 inch studded tires on in the winter that the stock fenders were no Bueno for.

Oh yeah, my rear cog on my bike friday was skipping, and I couldn’t personally get it quite right, so off to the shop it went. Chain is still good.

I had a similar issue on my full size bike and it turned out the cable had corroded. It took a bit to figure out because after the shop tuned it it would work fine for 100-200 km or one tough climb but then start skipping again.
