What bike related thing is in the post to you right now ...

Fitted an out front mount for my garmin, changed the cleats and pedals to Boardman / Look and adjusted my saddle again.

It feels like I have been tinkering with my bike more than I have been riding it this year.

Weepsie · 02-03-2016 5:44pm

My cero ar24 wheelset have been in 3 nightline vans, 2 depots on 3 occasions but have just got to me in work. Can't try them for a few weeks, but looking forward to it.

Ordered a packable bicycle line jacket that was on offer from css today,
Been looking for something like this to stuff into Jersey pocket or under the saddle without spending silly money,
Hope its ok, but no major loss at that price

Taxuser1 · 03-03-2016 11:24am

ultegra 6800 shifters, bar tape and handlebars, mavic shoe ratchets, hopefully new club gear. expensive crash in Navan.

MLC61 · 03-03-2016 8:11pm

A new pair of shoes that I bought in the Canyon Factory Outlet sale yesterday. Order confirmation last night however notes that they are women's - no mention of that when ordering them.
Anybody any experience of this - is there likely to be much difference?

helmets should match your kit not your bike!

Pinch Flat · 13-04-2016 2:07pm

New wheel bearings for my Campag Khasmins. Ordered from Ribble 31.03 and no sign of them yet (sent standard mail - only option)- email to customer care has gone unanswered.

Anyone previous experience of them with parts?

My Kits are black and white and a bit of red now and again, like the heart on my de Rosa, or the spoke on my es wheels on the ridley, or the bottle cage on each bike……. Team kit-mainly black with a bit of green and pink-am I gonna wear those in a helmet? 'hell no'

the 530 will be out before you get that so, i bloody hate them with a passion, caught a bloke get out of his van, walk up to my door and shove a missed delivery slip in the door, opened i as he walked away, he hadn't even got the package with him in the van, left it in the depot hoping no one would be in and got caught. wasn't even anything big or heavy, just a set of lights that was registered so he had to knock!

I ordered the same bearings for the same wheels plus some other components just yesterday from Ribble.

Dispatched email received last night and i got a SMS from DPD today saying they would be here tomorrow. I used the last of my free Parcel Wizard deliveries for it.

Nanoflex Pro bib shorts from Wiggle: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/castelli-exclusive-nanoflex-pro-bib-shorts/

Cycled Maynooth to Galway and back again at the weekend, and had to choose between maintaining a comfortable temperature (wind, rain and cold, and my better shorts were all much lighter) or a comfortable posterior, and the former won out. Given how much a gabba helped on the top half, these were hard to resist when they're cheaper than the nanoflex 2, and have the better pad.

First time ordering from ribble, but don't remember seeing a courier option. Would have happily paid the few quid for tracked delivery that arrives quicker - I do this as standard with Chainreaction, wiggle etc.

Anyway they came back to me to say after 10 days they're declared lost, which is tomorrow. They've also suggested I check my local sorting office, but I had them delivered to work. So never any issues with receipt of stuff - small office.

the same helmet I bought two weeks ago - a size bigger (doh!)

I've bought wheels from Ribble in the past and had no issues, but have noticed lately that for larger packages the post office just drops in a 'we attempted to deliver' note without even trying to deliver. I'm surprised they'd send out anything worth more than a few quid untracked.

As i was using DPD parcel Wizard i put my address as the UK(Northern Ireland virtual address) so maybe it gave me a different option.

These arrived today, and while I thought I was gambling on size (XL, and I have XXL in the Endurance X2's which are snug), the reviews proved to be on the money about the X2's being snug, and these being less so, and they're right up there with the best fitting shorts I own based on a quick try on. Not to mention that the longer than average legs mean they actually come down to just above my knees, which at 6'3" tall seems to rarely be a given in cycling kit!

31.6 carbon 'no name' seatpost with set back from Aliexpress! I had been using an inline seatpost and gradually as I got more agile/fitter had been moving it rearwards but now its at the limit of the rails and I need it further back so new seatpost required.

An entire bike. Pulled the trigger on the old stock Guerciotti Khaybar on planet X. They price dropped by nearly 300 quid as I was browsing so I went for it. It's last gen, 20 speed, but it's got SRAM Red Shifters, Derailleurs, Rival Crank. Might need to upgrade the brakes, but otherwise think I got a good deal as I can keep my rarely used light wheelset and put them on here. Early Birthday present!

Lovely looking bike. All reference to it on Planet x seems to be gone now.
How much did you get it for?
