...Congratulations on the weight lost. Even more so since it's because you are trying. Seeing our intentional efforts pay off is further incentive to keep going. Little 'wins' build on each other. You don't have to make a 100% change in one massive effort. Just make 100 1% changes over time.
A set of tyre levers and spare inner tubes is on my bits list. If it was the front tyre I would have a had ago myself but as it was cheap and the bike came back setup well I was happy that I did take it to my LBS.
Thanks for the kind words as well seeing actions pay of is great!
