I also had a go at the worst of the kerb damage to the outer rims with two grades of sand paper as I'm sceptical how much time City Wheels are going to spend on them at only £20 per wheel!

The plan is to drop them off at City Wheels this afternoon for a non express refurb.

Was thinking of doing the same with my spare set using the same place.. any chance of some after pics and opinion?

No problem. Slight issue today as my meeting over ran and I was too late to get to City Wheels today so it looks like I might be taking another trip on Saturday.

How come?

The snail is only really any quicker pretty high up the rev range compared to that larger displacement feeling all the way through of a screw. I like the whine of a screw but maybe you don't?

Noticed my rear brake lamp is broken in about three places. Despite saying I don't want a white one, I got a new white one on order. On reflection I think white looks more modern.
