What bike did you work on today?

-
Got a key cutting machine last weekend, so I decided to give a go at making a new key for my old Dx’s locking fork. Actually works!

Also found a set of fenders for the Dx that are more correct looking than my shorty ones. Front is installed. Still working on the rear one

I put my Gravel King slicks on today. The tred pattern is very similar to the tubular track tires that were on it originally. They are 35 mm wide, a little wide for this bike but they fit. As I mentioned earlier I have two bicycles with the dreaded single tube tires. I’m going to move this wheel set around the three bikes, depending on what I want to ride. The single tube tires on my other bikes are1.5 inches wide so these are a little narrow. It was a compromise on the tires but I’m as happy as I could be with a compromise.
