I can't use them because filtering on the M25 they won't fit between car doors.......

New chain and sprocket kit, new rear brake rotor and pads and a thorough clean of the rear caliper. Was hoping the old chain would make it thru the fall but it was so worn I couldn't stretch it any longer :wink:

Ready to rock & roll heading for Wales this morning...
