    Same here sort of, waiting on parts to be dispatched, should have been posted last week, ordered 3 weeks ago, when I log on it just says waiting on stock but all the items appear to be in stock? Hopefully sorted soon

    add me to this. I threw in a cassette at the last moment for my order. it may not be available. It's the thing I need least too.

    However, my Planet x stuff arrived within 2-3 days.

    Favero Assioma DUO Power Meter Pedals

    On the slow boat from Italy via Cigala Retail.

    Looking forward to comparing my 6800 stages PM vs these & find out how many watts over the Stages actually is.

    Ok, it's not directly related to cycling, but it will help me gussy up old parts going back onto rebuilt bikes

    New socks and a cap from Galibier

    Mudguards for what will become my winter bike - went for Bontrager NCS as someone told me you don't need to cut them plus my bike is missing the mudguard bridge.

    Dynaplug and a tiny tube to make a new tubeless repair kit for the road bike.

    Still waiting on a rear hub to arrive (ordered May 2nd...ugh). Lesson learned. Sometimes the few euro you're saving isn't worth the hassle (especially the supply chain issues out there atm).

    A torque wrench and one of those bike sweat cover/thong-looking things for the turbo.


    Also, an order I had with Merlin was dispatched on 11th May with Trakpak, landed in Ireland on the 19th and GLS seem to have been sitting on it ever since. Their track & trace just says 'The Parcel is on its way to the final parcel centre' since the 19th.:mad:

    Some supersonic tubes to replace the random no name ones currently installed, a bunch of spare tubes for my brother who’s only starting out on a road bike, and was running low on lube so decided to give the Muc Off hydrodynamic lube a try

    It’s sponsered by Team Sky for maximum marginal gains ( :D )

    A couple of bits from Sportful's outlet page. Temporary pay cuts in work have curtailed my spending. Now I'm actually paying what I tell the other half things cost

    Alright..

    Basic BBB Floor pump with a gauge.
    Topeak Mini Hand Pump.
    Topeak Small Saddle Bag.
    Endura Socks 3 Pack.
    Ice Tools Puncture Repair Kit.
    Continental Inner Tubes x2
    Some cheap Water Bottle x2.
    Blue Cleats (First ones, they were cheaper than the yellow pair, thought I'd prefer less float).
    Shimano PD R8000 Ultegra Pedals (on sale).
    Northwave Extreme RR Road Shoes down from £319 to £170

    I'm starting out, and I know I'm spending a small fortune but I'm working flat out for the summer in a supermarket and decided to splurge.
    I also got a nice deal on the bike so I thought feck it, don't weight the bike down with cheap shoes!

    Fingers crossed they fit!
    I went with a 42, I'm a 43 in most nikes with a little wiggle room but 9/10 if I'm buying football boots or proper running shoes I'm a 42.

    I've also just realised the pedals come with a set of cleats, at least I went with a different % of float.

    I found them true to size at 46 but I've flat feet that are wider than normal.

    Great to hear, they should suit so.
    They sort of justified going with more expensive pedals too, it's one big expensive chain reaction.

    What deal did you get on the pedals?

    £120, so £20-something off retail, my thinking was just buy them from the same store as the shoes so they arrive at the same time, so I went with Tredz because they had the shoes.
    I just know I'd crack if the shoes arrived before the pedals or vice versa.
