I bought a proper bike pump with a gauge. Makes a huge difference now. Just used a hand pump for the last year. Wish I got one ages ago.

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
A Selle Italia Storica saddle via eBay thanks to @Soltydog

An Adidas XS men's jersey for my 14yo whilst he awaits his new team's kit as he's switched - again eBay as Evans hadn't got it

And as my family didn't get me a birthday present this week, this: a Ravensthorpe CC ltd edition jersey signed by the Tour de Yorkshire riders in 2019 plus others. The bid price, which ended up being just me, all goes to one of my club-mates who's been in hospital since last June following a life-threatening crash:

Not sure where it'll go though. Would wearing it on club rides be sacrosanct? :tongue:

A few days ago got delivered a new Wheels Manufacturing PF30 BB to replace the rubbish FSA one that came fitted to the Bianchi. It's 24mm so now just waiting on an opportunity to ditch the equally naff FSA Gossamer crank set and replace it with a 105 7000 series compact.

Are 27" tubes actually a thing? I didn't think there was any practical difference to 700c tubes.
Yes. About 8mm bigger diameter. You can usually stretch a large-width (38-45mm, say) 622mm tube to fit inside a 32-630 (a "proper" 27x1¼") without harm, but a 630mm one can fit noticeably easier. A 27x1¼" Schrader tube may be for a larger width than 1¼" anyway (which is part of why confusing non-ISO sizings suck) because a Schrader-drilled rim is usually wider than a Presta'd one so has a wider "ideal" tyre.

Not to sure?
Garmin UT800 front light, interesting concept, I hope it performs as good as the instruction manual suggests? That aside, its a cracking looking little light and superbly finished off.

Postman brought me an XTR double chainset today, and I fitted some extra bling also.

Wanted / needed the chainset to give me a better gear choice for my tourer.
Bought the bike second hand, but the gearing was a little suspect. It had 44/32 up front with 11-42 10 speed cassette .

The XT rear mech was struggling with the 42 and 36t when climbing.

Now set up with

40 & 28 up front with 11-36 cassette.

Fitting my old StemCaptain clock, and pure indulgence Spurcycle bell.
