NOT Ultegra brake callipers.

Wiggle states they had 10+ of each. Waited over a week to find they were put on back order, but it turns out they couldn't get them and didn't think to tell me or refund me.

Website said 10+ all weekend before they finally resolved their issue. No apology or offer of discount off another product.

Missed the cheaper price with another supplier too. :sad:

Only posting, as saw a thread saying Tredz are bad for doing this. Well it turns out that they're not alone!

Pedals for the mongrel bike. The old plastic ones are a bit ragged, and - with luck! - creaky. I have warned the gentleman in the lbc that I may require some belligerent cranks removing sooner or later.

Quality tyres @derrick . Just swapped to Vittoria Corsa's for a bit of a change. My GP4000's were great for over 4,000 miles, with no visits from the unspeakable.

Castelli Alpha Jersey for me. Can't argue with 60% off. :smile:

Not bought but given a ladys bike last night. A friend has got a new bike on the c2w so was giving it away.

Spent tonight in the garage giving it a good clean and fitting new brake pads and cables.
Unsure what im doing with it yet but may use it as a pub bike ( i dont care if it a ladys frame ).

Hears the finished result:

Reflect360 Gilet from Proviz. I suppose i'll be picking up their jacket soon enough

::EDIT::

Also got some Kool Stop Salmon's and Dura 2's to try out. Dura 2's seem pretty interesting

Comfy armchair to one person & a plank to the next
Some double cable guides (getting ready for the new back wheel :hyper: ) and a chain cleaning sponge to take the order over free delivery - I doubt it'll work any better than the brush and a cloth for not letting oily muck through onto my fingers, but I'll give it a try.
