3450km since last full service (Birmingham, October 2025)
Clean & visual inspection ✅
Bolt / torque check ✅
S&S coupling check ✅
Spoke tension check ✅
Ping test & tensioned a couple on both bikes
Tyre and sealant check ✅
Visual tyre check - aim to swap front to rear at 5000km (Agadir-ish) - need sealant
Brake check ✅
Sam’s front pads removed, cleaned and sanded due to glazing (?) - has been screechy and less effective of late
Sam’s rotors cleaned and scuffed - bed in!
Check for play (BB / hubs etc) ✅
Move EBB and seat post ❌
Other tweaks ✅
Investigate sharp click/clonk that had recently developed when turning The HOG’s steering hard left or right. Check for play (none), reseat/tighten. No change so: disassemble, clean, touch of grease on contact points, reassemble. Click gone, for now :)
New spacer added to The COO’s stand to try to prevent further movement
Notes for next time
Check rotor thicknesses (except The HOG’s rear rotor, which was changed 2000km ago) - consider replacing in Laayoune
