Well done & good luck.

What's the waiting time on it?

Cheers. Not sure, really. Went into the LBS today to sort of preorder the bike.

I'll be getting it on the cycle to work scheme, which starts in January for me. I wanted to make sure I had everything lined up and ready to go regarding submitting the paperwork, I'll talk to them in early January about timelines

...a Garmin Edge 530 :)

The 500 has served me well, no real need to upgrade but wireless syncing and live segments will be nice among other features.

DaveyDave · 21-12-2021 02:37PM

Literally just sat down at work and DHL knocked on the door, second package from Bike24 that has gone from item ready for dispatch to being delivered unexpectedly. No 'it's on the way' email or tracking, just an email 2 hours ago saying it will be delivered today. Ordered it on Thursday afternoon, wasn't even expecting it this side of Christmas!

stevencn88 · 21-12-2021 08:13PM

Going full snob and awaiting delivery of this for Christmas. Never bought anything from Rapha before so excited to see how it stacks up with my other kit.

I've had that jersey before and it is great, only got rid of it as the size was a bit off for me

gn3dr · 22-12-2021 12:06AM

€195 for a jersey 🙄

It's more of a jacket to be fair

rushfan · 22-12-2021 01:16PM

Delivery from Galibier yesterday, a pair of those Arctic overshoes. Very solide looking build, looking forward to trying them out.

I know. But it's Christmas and I'll probably never buy anything from Rapha again

Fann Linn · 27-12-2021 09:35PM

Can I throw this in here? I need a new pair of shoes and just wondering if it's okay to order from Wiggle now since Brexit?

I'm not 100% sure if I'd get caught for customs and excise.

Thanks.

MojoMaker · 28-12-2021 11:06AM

Wiggle build the VAT and import duty into their prices for visitors from EU domains & delivery addresses, so yep, there's no avoiding it. Similar to how Amazon manage selling into the EU.

Time to get back on the bike.....time.

So, I cannibalised my Thorn Audax bike a few years ago, bars, front and rear dynamo lights switched to Surly DT.

Ordered Ritchey Logic Curve 42cm bars (silver 😀) and Shimano R400 Brake Levers (silver 😀) for a start. Need to get Downtube Shifters and a new set of B & M dynamo lights.

ednwireland · 31-12-2021 09:38PM

Bearingssssss

Fulcrum 6 wheel bearings, xt BB, synapse headset.

Seaswimmer · 02-01-2022 06:14PM

Gave the young lad my old work bike but he cycles in the same gear all the time so the derailleur (Ultegra) seized up. Ordered a single speed cog 15T, set of brake levers and some short chainring bolts to put it back to single speed. Got them from bike24.

G1032 · 06-01-2022 08:23PM

Winter wheels from Bike24. Shimano WH-RS100.

Was between those and Aksiums and despite owning two sets of trouble free Mavics already I went with Shimano. There were far far too many reviews on multiple sites about the Aksiums arriving out of true that I just wasn't taking the chance. Shimanos seemed to get great reviews and at 130 odd euro I couldn't really say no. If I get the rest of this winter and next out of them they'll owe me nothing at that stage.

Threw in 6 * Shimano gear cable inners and both an 11spd and 10spd jockey wheels. Also Shimano gear housing and BBB brake housing.

Awful trouble again with addresses on Bik24. It's painful. Website will not take my postcode. Asked them to input it from their side which they did for delivery address but not billing address. So still had error returned for an issue with billing address. Actually no clue how I got around it but after a few emails back and forth they finally admitted this morning that there is an issue with adding post code input and will try to fix. I'm not holding my breath.

Seadin · 07-01-2022 12:41AM

2 x cateye rear USB lights.

Chainrings for an upgrade on my winter bike. Bought 11 speed 105 parts but it has taken me over a year to buy all the parts I need separately.

Seatpost for another build.

beggars_bush · 07-01-2022 08:51AM

replacement Shimano overshoes from bike discount. the ones I got at halloween have ripped already along the top seam of them and the other is starting to rip.

Macy0161 · 07-01-2022 12:06PM

80mm tubes as spare for the new deep section wheels I picked up second hand over Christmas! Also an extra rear light to get me by until I save a bit for a varia radar!

ednwireland · 07-01-2022 01:09PM

endura xtract jacket in xxl and it fits 😉😁

I have those wheels. The front has been fine but I had a broken spoke on the back after about 100 km.

The spoke holes on the rear (I haven't checked the front) are offset (not centred in the rim) and the rim tape is crap. After a couple of mystery punctures I realised that the rim tape was exposing the edge of the spoke hole. I put an 18 mm Schwalbe High Pressure tape and got another puncture, so I put a 20 mm tape in. That seems to have solved the problem.

Oh Lord. That doesn't fill he with confidence 🤣🤣🤣

thekooman · 07-01-2022 04:40PM

replacement gear cables and Look Keo pedals from CRC. Changed rear derailleur cable after it snapped last week. First attempt at changing a cable which I'm very proud of (it was externally routed which made it easier)! 😋 Also had to open the shifter to remove the end of the old cable.

CramCycle · 08-01-2022 12:54AM

Cateye 1700, I don't need it but I moved house ot the country and most of my 5am commutes will be on rural roads in the near future. When asked about would I not get a 2nd car for the house, I asked for this instead.

Planet X · 08-01-2022 09:41AM

Dia Compe downtube shifters and a Ritchey Classic C220 Stem ........which I found out that my new Ritchey Bars will not fit the existing stem!

Are you going to eat a lot of peaches?

DaveyDave · 08-01-2022 03:20PM

Ordered a Selle Italia SP-01 TM Superflow. The basic Selle Italia on my bike tilts upwards at the nose and there's a lot of flex behind it making the nose even more pronounced putting pressure on my bits. Eventually settled on -6° tilt while on the turbo for it to go away but then had discomfort all over so the saddle just isn't for me.

I have the SLR TM Superflow on my other bike, it's flat, has a huge cutout and is stiffer. Went with the SP-01 to try the split rear design, worst case scenario I can return it after 30 days with Mantel and get another SLR.

CantGetNoSleep · 08-01-2022 07:52PM

I've been sick for the last few days so went a bit all out with orders, probably my full year's budget gone:

Not in the post but in the boot of my car waiting for the wife to disappear so I can sneak them in - Genesis Equilibrium frameset & Genesis CGR One carbon fork for my Croix de Fer. The Equilibrium was planned for a few weeks, the fork was a spontaneous decision as I had looked at ways of reducing the weight of my CdF but had forgotten about it. When I was collecting the Equilibrium, I mentioned to the dealer that I loved the CdF but wished it was a tiny bit lighter, he pulled the fork out from under the counter and offered it to me at a great price so I couldn't turn it down. Will save almost a kilo.
A Shimano 105 disc groupset for the above build
A Galibier winter order (Energie 2 bib tights and a Mistral Pro jacket)
New summer jerseys from Le Col
Long-sleeved jerseys from Rapha and a Belgian brand called Peleton de Paris

magicbastarder · 08-01-2022 08:06PM

you need to get your wife into horseriding*; i could buy a top end bike every year for the money horseriding eats up.

*unless you like having money
