Why change to tin cans when you have city slick alu rims?
Well, I have a couple of good reasons for this. First, I thought the alu rims were a little bit to wide. Since I don't want to lift I want the wheels inside the arches. It looks cool on tarmac with wide tyres, but when flexing off road, it's a risk that they will rub the arches.
Secondly, steel rims tackle damage better. Thirdly, and honestly the main reason for the change, one of the alu rims had been seriously damaged and had to be thrown away...
At the tyre man's I saw another British greenie :)
Well,.. hrmmm... I have to admit being lazy when it comes to the rear brake pads. It is a little bit hard to check the inside of the discs with the calipers on, which... However, now it's done. The discs were badly worn so they had to be turned.
My friend Daniel helped out, and we did it the "farmers way" in his garage. Angle grinder in Daniels hands and me turning the oppsite wheel like crazy. The result? Perfect!
This year it was time for the right hub. It became a field job. At my old Range I did it in complete darkness. Now, a little bit more lazy, I used a lamp :)
