All the new bits should be here tomorrow or latest by Wednesday, then the fun begins

Weight weenie

 

[Dangermouse]

The chain is having a bath RM ...............look at me I'm sparkling

 

[Dangermouse]

Weigh weenie

.............enough of the weight weenie stuff...........no ultra lightweight stuff is going on, just nice Ultegra kit, by the way its lighter

 

[Dangermouse]

I am beginning to think Royal mail have lost the plot...........and, wait for this ......YODEL have found it

Out of the Chainset, rear mech and front mech all posted on Monday, only one has appeared, the front mech by the one and only

YODEL............which was a 5 day service not 1st recorded like the other 2

[QUOTE 2938573, member: 259"]I must agree. It looks terrible, but I'm sure the new pannier rack and mudguards will improve matters no end. [/quote]


Heathen...........no pannier rack will adorn this beauty

The chain is a bit slack.....in fact it seems to have fallen off.

.. and the saddle is pointing up! That would have more than my chain falling off.

The cables look a bit slack.

 

[Dangermouse]

Not any more Paulus, all the Ultegra has arrived and although I am ill so cant ride it, I have built it and spent the afternoon indexing the gears to perfection.

Tadaa

Must be some mistake.......... it's got gears.

 

[Dangermouse]

Must be some mistake.......... it's got gears.

No mistake, it is ready for action, I will say one thing though, having indexed sora and 105 f/r mechs. ultegra is the easiest to do, just line the top an bottom gears up without the chain on and voila, the gears are indexed perfect

 

[Dangermouse]

How the hell do I insure it, Eileen is on a mission to insure both bikes but the small print on all insurances are, erm misleading we don't want to be proving that the bikes were taken forcibly form out home, or the robbers made a forced exit.......if someone is robbing me at knifepoint they can take whatever they want and I will open the door to let them out, and when we are out we don't want to be carrying a lock that would secure a tank to a railing.............some of these insurance policies are a joke, they don't want us to insure.
