The "what bike bits have you just bought" thread
Discussion
Just ordered a set of 160mm Formula 35 27.5 forks for my new build. Another item that I wont get till December though apparently, along with the new frame.
Also ordered a 11-32 ultegra cassette for my roadbike as a test for a very hilly 100k ride I have coming up as opposed to swapping down to a compact chain set from the 39/53 it has.
Got to be worth trying as its $85 as opposed to $200 which the new chainrings would be!

Bought these:
Fitted them last night, so the bike is now 'finished'. Warmish, trafficless half term morning, bit of a tail wind, looking forward to a hatful of PRs on the ride in to work. Then 1.4 miles in...I now need these
And because it is the 5th time this month
This is getting added to the armoury.

Let me know what you thing of these, as I am seriously considering them. Exposure Trace/R Set
£69.98 delivered from Tredz with £5 off email signup coupon. Bargain.
Been told 17th November now.
Having neglected any real maintenance on one of the hardtail for long and weery it was high time to sort it out, so today Ive ordered the following:
Shimano RD5700 jockey wheels:
KMC X9 93 chain:
and a Shimano HG61 9speed 11-34t cassette
came to a grand total of £44.96 including priority delivery.
Also had to order some new wheels from the LBS after wrecking the rear rim on my full suspension.
Would have gotten away with just a rear rim, but the rear runs a Hope hub and the front doesnt along with the fact Id be running 2 different rims OCD kicked in, (tbh I was tempted to replace the front hub anyway so this was a nicely timed excuse). 2 new Stanz rims ordered along with a hope front hub. Both to be built up using good quality spokes & nipples etc. downside is it;ll take about a fortnight all in.

Lovely looking bike. But a couple of schoolboy errors- you've only bought one set of pedals, but enough for both bikes for everything else. Oh, and you've bought 26" tubes, not 700C! Gassing Station | Pedal Powered | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
