A lovely box arrived today from the best bike shop on the planet.
New wheels - can wait to get them rolling

Well not quite the postie, but I’ve just had the email from the best bike shop on the planet, to say my new wheels are ready.

I opted for a spot, because I’d rather have less contact, less messages and less faff whilst I’m away.
As long as Mrs B could see I was ok and I’d checked in once in a while then all was good

Cheapo dropper post arrived (see bargain page)

I just got a Brand x dropper post for £90 + postage

I had exactly the same. Eventually went down gradually, but it took a few weeks.
Mine wasn’t infected, just fluid build up.
I didn’t have any pain so was able to carry on as normal

How about a rucksack cover. I got some Karrimor ones from Sports direct that did the job and were not too spendy

I’ve not bothered with a sac pump.
Not had any issues so far, just blow

Bonty XR2s work well for me

Thanks Sean. Would like to have them tight enough that the back bit doesn’t turn and they stay put. I’ve got one of the those tools thanks but would like to leave it at home when on trips.

Stainless can crack and fail Mart (one reason it's not allowed on suspension bolts on cars), whereas chrmoly will stretch - chromoly steel should be what you want. Stainless is fine if used in the correct way (grade and size) and are used extensively in the marine industry and in civil engineering ...

I’ve got a tiny mini leatherman. Whilst a lot of the tools are duplicated, it does have some pliers (that are pretty sturdy) which you tend not to get on a multi tool

Edit - it’s the leatherman squirt

Ohhh sounds interesting …. Will pm you

Anyone got one to sell, frame only (or F&F)
Looking for a size large. Let me know
Cheers Martin
