New rear gear cable fitted as I was renewing bar tape, which was looking very scruffy.

When I first changed the Kona to tubeless, I used a sealant that, whilst great at blocking larger holes, was also great at clogging valves. I've since swapped to Stans Sealant, which has proved much better. The front valve has been giving me lots of agro still, so I've purchased two new Muc Off tubeless valves that I fitted today. As usual with Muc-Off products, these are really nicely made, with an allen key recess in the base to help tighten/loosen the valve, as well as an integrated valve core removal tool in the valve cap. Whilst I was there, I also topped up the sealant which was looking a bit low.
As well as new valves, I also treated the bike to a new chain, the old one has been there a fair while now and showing around 0.75 of wear.

Was planning to remove rack to finish truing a ‘near enough’ wheel (reasons).
Ended up sawing the heads from the screws and replacing with hex bolts.

Son in Law got his chain trapped between small ring and frame. Chewed a bit of paint off unfortunately. There was a built in chain catcher but too far from small ring. Chainring removed, washers added to chain catcher (looks like a bobbin screwed to frame). Chain rings refitted and all is well again.

The Laverda twin, although it could be a Honda CB72/CB77 which it closely resembles. Don't think it's a Jota but hard to tell from the plcture (the Jota triple is an SF with another cylinder added on with initially a 180 degree crank later changed to a 120 degree crank)

Started my Airfix
1/48 Gloucester Meteor of the Korean War. Christmas present from my son but it’s so wet and horrible outside I have decided to make a start.

Eh, but I don’t have a motorbike and my post (which wasn’t about motorbikes) didn’t include a picture.

I would say it's the Laverda twin. Really don't think it's a Jota, which just happens to be my favourite of all the motorbikes I've owned - totally devastated when it got stolen (never to be seen again).

Changed the crankset of the commuter from modern Sora with 170mm cranks to Ultegra 6650 with 175mm cranks and to switch from 50/34 to 44/34. But I have to check the chain line and the distance between the chain rings tomorrow, because the chain seems to touch the outer chain ring when I try to use the fourth or third smallest sprocket, which didn't happen with the Sora chain rings.
