Waiting for ups to deliver my fixed neobike today, working from home watching out the window and I get an attempted delivery notice. Ups telephone customer service a total joke. Going to try and get neighbours CCTV to prove they didn't bother. What a pain

So annoying when they do that!

Need a mount for my Wahoo Bolt V2 on the new bike - should I shell out £17 for an OG Wahoo one, or go the AliExpress route? Prefer out-front rather than stem-mounted.

The new bike came with 36cm bars and turned-in hoods (as seems now to be the fashion), which, even though I'm not by any means broad-shouldered, seems ridiculously narrow. Having just sold a couple of sets of 25.4mm dia bars, I'm now looking to buy some new bars - criteria are 31.8mm dia, 40cm, not flared, black, not ridiculously heavy, preferably <£50.

I used to have 3TTT Prima 220 bars on my Trek which were 'anatomic' (i.e. had a kink on the drop), and I rather liked that, but I suspect that I'll spend most of my time on the hoods on this new machine.

Any recommendations?

Pricey but beautifully machined. Got one and don't regret it.

As for the bars: Do you have a local bike charity? Mine has literal boxes of them and there's always something suitable.

I’ve recently fitted one of these carbon yokes having smashed the previous handlebar when I fell a month ago. So far so good.

I know some people will recoil in horror at that thought of anything carbon bought on AliExpress but I’ve had wheels, stems, bars and frames for years with no issues

I was all set to buy the Zwift Cog and Click v2 set today, release day, checked this morning around 9 and they ‘coming soon’. Checked when I got home from work and they’ve sold out already 😡
