  • Shifters and rear derailleur now sourced just waiting for the front mudguard to be delivered and that should be it for a while. The rear derailleur was caked in what looked like a kind of sticky tar around the jockey wheels and lower cage but half an hour of scrubbing and some lighter fluid proved it was actually worth the money.

    Parts still to source:

    • Shimano 5800 cranks
    • Race Face narrow wide chainring
    • KMC X10-73 10sp chain
    • TRP Spyre disc brakes
    • Shimano PD-A530 pedals
    • Zefal HPX pump

  • Remember @edscoble saying somewhere on here they're good - also makes sense having a pump on the bike if I'm going to subscribe to Jan Heine's calculus about lower pressures and the benefits. Want to mount it on the non-drive-side seat stay although not sure if it'll be possible with the caliper.

    I'm not sure if the SLC is worth the extra money over the standard Spyre, but probably will go that way if I buy 2nd hand as it'll just be a few quid more. Hopefully with compressionless housing it'll be a decent cable disc setup.
