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 [i]you [/i]waiting for?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
