    Widely reported and far too common. Someone reported that it was more prevalent in regions of high humidity. Regardless Shimano should be replacing these free of charge every time

    Garmin 530, not at such a price as mentioned above, but happy enough. Going under the tree though for the moment (when it arrives!).

    Lowest I've seen is €216 shipped from Bike24. Half tempted myself, nothing wrong with the 500 but I wouldn't mind an upgrade. Live segments and wireless syncing would be nice!

    Yes, lowest I saw, but decided not to quibble over €4 when Bike Discount have been spot on for me, and use DPD. I don't know who Bike24 use?

    Yeah they use DPD which is good although their packing isn't great. The tape on my package from them barely held it closed. As there was next to nothing in the box the flaps were getting pushed in and starting to become loose. Tyres and tubes so nothing of value but I'm surprised a tube didn't fall out. Definitely needs some air bags or better tape.

    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.

    New chainset and brakes were attemted to be delivered yesterday. I was supposed to get a notification from DHL and they didn't. Didn't leave a card either. Only for Bike24 telling me there was a failed delivery I wouldn't have a clue. No idea when it's being redelivered now and won't get the bike built up now before christmas at this rate.

    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!

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
