First bleed? What brakes? Mine worked from initial setup, once I worked out how to set them up. I don't like to touch stuff that's working unless it's something that wears out.

It's a 4000k race. Unless you have almost new cassette and chain it'll be past its 'totes fucked' wear point before race ends.

RS505/BR505. They feel fairly spongy.

So:
1. new chain/cassette
2. Bleed brakes
3. new pads (sintered)
4. service rear hub
5. Service/check BB
6. new gear cables (is this necessary with only 2000km on em?)
7. new tires
8. lube pedals/cleats
9. check bolts all over
fuck me this is gonna be expensive

You also should be thankful you already have the bike. I have some scary credit card statements these last two years.

Grip paste on anything that might slip. ie. aerobars/handlebars.
