Finally finally finally ....

I finally managed to get my hands on the right size of spokes. Not through my regular bike shop, but from someone who can make them any size you want. So last week I took both wheels of my XP and handed them in at my friend's place together with the new spokes. He promised me to have the wheels ready by the end of this week. The condition of the rear tyre was so bad, that I asked him to replace it with a new one. No more Big Apple, this time I'm gonna try out Schwalbe's new MARATHON SUPREMES. I ordered a complete set, both for the front and the back wheel. They come in the same size and should last longer than the Big Apples.
Harldy can believe it's almost been 2 months since I last rode my XP .... Luckily, I got plenty of bikes to choose from. Most of my riding lately has been on the Zenetik Pro, only on the days when it did not rain. Unfortunately, the winter has been very mild so far, but also very wet :-(
