it's not the rubbing, but the impacts
that said, next time I go, as long as the sun is out I'm going to go with rash vest and boardies. the less neoprene you wear, the better you surf in my experience.

and the less you look like a gaylord 'expert'
EDIT when I say 'you' I obviously don't mean you personally - no outfit change on earth could stop you from looking like the rapacious cock-gobbler you are.

for most of the year wetsuits are essential for surfing
in a way that gay lycra isn't for cycling.

I know you're right,
but I felt compelled to be rude to you. Sorry.

why on earth are you apologising you massive queer?

I'm not really sorry.
It was a trap.

Don't fucking start

need a new wheel cos the bearing was fucked
there are some reasonably cheap options so going to cost about £25 for that. going to get some more sensible tyres, get it properly serviced and new brakepads etc. so it's actually going to be much more pleasant to ride than before.

Oh good
I did think £50 for a basic wheel was a bit steep. You'll be amazed the difference slicks make.

my old tyres are about as knobbly as they get so anything will be an improvement
I've gone for semi-slicks because I do ride places other than the road occasionally.

thanks for the advice though, it helped to get me motivated to actually do it.
