Middleburn cranks and Duo rings arrived a few days ago, silver bolts today. I switched to some different Time pedals too before the weekend and after 300km my knees are thankful for the spinny gears and extra support.
Down tube shifters feel great, one problem though... they aren't entirely compatible with the Tangle bag I've been using for audaxing before. They still function but it makes everything a bit clutter. Details of a modded Carradice and new front-setup to make up for this is coming in another post...
Pasela's replace the Vittoria Randos, slight weight saving but a good improvement in terms of comfort.
L's Trucker is pretty much sorted too (except the mudguards). Tyres have been replaced and she's trying out drops. So far so good! Saddlebag is always stuffed to the brim with bits and pieces too and from work/the gym, but seems to be fairing well. She's on the look out for some material to make her own version, without the leather and fiddly buckles.
She also took it for her first non-commute/errand ride when she was back home last weekend and want's to go riding more. I wonder how long it'll be before there's gears and she's a member of Audax UK...
