Nothing exciting – rim strips, brake adapters, tyres and sealant, all from different shops, but it’ll allow me to properly finish my budget Trek build in an appropriate manner sans bodges.

What’re you waiting for?

Postie has been and gone:
Hope Pro4 XD Driver
Sram XX1 Chain
Maxxis Forekaster
Ergon GD1 grips

an XT bottom bracket from CRC for £15.99 but I couldn’t wait so I went out and bought a deore one from a LBS for £16.99 yesterday (they were charging 30 quid for an XT one robbing gits), so I guess I’ll have a spare BB when the need next arises.

Mainly, a new pair of shoes that Royal Mail attempted to delivery at TWENTY PAST EIGHT LAST NIGHT when nobody could answer the door.

Also some wheels, brakes, and shifter for a frame I don’t own yet.

Nothing :(:(

Can the forekaster be had in 3c?

Was thinking of pairing that as a front with SS rear but can only seem to find it in hard compounds

Giro hex pads…. arrived 2 mins ago.

SLX/Deore pads, but only ordered them an hour ago so won’t be today.

Strikes me as much more sensible than 10.30am to a domestic address.

Some 32mm GP 4Seasons for my summer cx commuter. They departed Herne-Boernig this morning and should be with me on Monday. I’m using racing ralphs at the moment so will be nice to go slick again.

Yes I was thinking the same! Had you been able to answer the door you would have been delighted they delivered in the evening, some people are hard to please 🙂

Don’t think so. Going to go on the front of my smuggler for local xc rides.

Will get a picture with it mounted up next to a minion later.

Brand X Ascend dropper.
Can’t ride bike until it’s up and running…then again it hasn’t seen daylight for about 5 weeks 😕

Tyres arrived, so at least I can get out with proper tyres and tubes this weekend.

Giant Propel road bike, the neighbour has it for me! Aero wheels wont get here until next week though 🙁

Vorsprung Luftkappe arrived this morning along with some SWAT bibs. Unfortunately there’s been a ‘delay’ with Float X shock I’ve bought, though they’ve sorted it now and should be here Monday.

Freehub bearings. Not even dispatched yet 🙁
Should have gone to Hope directly..

A correct sized perch for my wide boney arse,1st ride in the morning around Gunnerside Gill,there will be lots of tweeky stops mi thinks

Passport….

New Chain, grabbed it from LBS earlier though no postie involved!

Hopefully sort a minor gripe I have been having, if not then it’s take bike into shop because I am out of ideas.

Pair of Saloman ultra shoes so I can attempt the welsh 3000’s next weekend in relative comfort…..

Superstar sorted me with a replacement freebody yesterday, no quibble, no need to even return the thing – sent ’em a pic, they sent me a new ‘un.

New shoes one week before a mountain marathon..?

It’s my Birthday today so a few cards, Tredz tool stuff and a Knog Oi bell, lol. The tredz order should have been here yesterday apparently but it wasn’t.

If we’re playing that game…

Postie:
Gloworm X2
Gloworm XS
Goodyear Eagle F1s for the car

Collecting from UKCC after work:
Sunrace MX3
XT Chain
Sealant

Collecting from random farm:
1 Pekin chicken*

*to replace daughter’s favourite that was taken by Mr Fox – fingers crossed it’s a good match!

I do really want my tubeless stuff. Had tubes on last weekend for the first time in many years and got a sodding pinch puncture first ride!

Also got a letter from HMRC though 😕

Sir HC – Member

Will get a picture with it mounted up next to a minion later.

Cool, would be interested to see that and hear how it rides.

A dinky 50mm tioga stem with an old-school 25.4 clamp. Arrived now.
Very glossy 8)

New shoes one week before a mountain marathon..?

Not a race, just a long walk…..I’ll wear them all next week, and they should be fine, maybe..

I was waiting on a Maxxis Chronicle in 29er flavour and a new wheel to mount it on (Hope Pro4 with a Easton Arc40 rim).
But both the postie and the Parcel Force guy are on it today.

One step closer to reviving the SS.
