Changed the tyres to the Schwalbe Marathon Kevlar reflective 700x32, this was very easy for the front as its a lefty, no need to remove wheel, so less than 5 mins for that.  The rear wheel however threw a curveball initially as the Alfine demands spanners and cable pulling along with nut flicking! and that is just to get the wheel off. Actually its quite simple once you know but not so easy to figure out without the instructions from the Shimano website. I will post an image based tutorial on this later perhaps. I also changed the stem to a 120mm Easton 10 degree one to help the bike fit me a bit better.  I added lights for tomorrow and also a rear guard from the F1 - i'll need a more permanent solution but this will do for now.

Version 1.5 (new tyres, stem, lights and mud guard)
