What have you bought for the bike today ?

[DCBassman]

Tektro R559s? Good brakes, put some on my old mixte.

Great to hear- I haven't got any experience with them but I figure they would have to be an improvement

These come specced on Wiggins Rouen!

A pair of Absolute Black chainrings - son no. 2 bent an outer one.

How a 17yo twig does that I don't have a clue

Possibly leaning the bike against something resting it's weight on the chainring.
Ask me how I know.....

12/32 cassette (20 quid with a SRAM chain thrown in) to replace the 11/34 on my seven speed clunker. The gaps on the latter are far too big even for someone riding purely as a leisure cyclist these days.

A new bike! Planet X Pro Carbon with SRAM Rival 22 and Fulcrum 800 wheels.

A huge step up (as you would both hope and expect) from my 2013(?) Triban 5 with Sora.

Been out twice since I built it on Monday morning and it is an incredible step up. It’s quiet, it’s smooth, it’s quick and it’s stunning to boot.

0% finance over 4 years is a nice extra, too! £30 a month? Yes please!

@Sittingduck Here she is

Nice - very nice!

That’s a great looking bike. I can see myself getting one at some point.

I did your post in the other sub-forum earlier. I've done 2 rides so far as I say and it is wonderful, but I've not got a huge amount to compare it to really! What I can say is I ordered around 29 March and it was delivered by April 4th I think.

My new Tektro R559's arrived the other day and are now on my bike- massive improvement on the originals.
I love the locking feature on the quick release too. Very happy.

Excellent, they're good brakes! My only lapse was to have blingy silver ones...

I didn't mind the silver but thought I'd try something different. The black does look pretty good I think

New toy to update my failing edge 130. It's huge!
