So, after months of hunting I finally got my new bike yesterday - A Trek Domane2.
Annoyingly TNT messed up as should have been here Friday, and it got worse, unpacked and the front disc was slightly bent. But Sigma were brilliant, quick chat around 3pm and they got not 1 but two discs out which arrived the next day and had offered to cover the cost of LBS putting them on! Great service!
Replaced the disc today and went out for a 6 mile test - quicker than my hybrid, but hands did ache a bit despite not gripping too tight. First time in clipless too and that worked fine. Like using them although getting used to not being able to move feet around, Don't feel as comfortable standing up as I did on hybrid but sure that will come.
Need to tweak the front derailleur - when on the smallest front ring and smallest rear there is a sound from the chain, it actually seems like its knocking the big ring but have 15 mins free with a mobile bike guy at work that they have paid to be there, so will possibly take that in. Still not sure I have the bars in the best place for me but will tweak after next ride
Just need to plan a decent ride for the weekend - did 50 miles the other week but feel a much lower one is better while I acclimatise. Need to stop spending now on all the accessories!!
