• Maiden voyage to acquire coffee and pastry.

    LBS kindly gave me a spare TL-FC25 (I think the FC stands for fucking crap) so the cranks went on when I got in from work earlier. First impressions - not light, but not slow. Much comf.

    Need to dick about with saddle position and stem length. Also obviously needs a front mech. Stupid cloth bar tape is too short. So far I like the shape and all the usable ramp bits of the Noodles, but should be going on a proper ride tomorrow to try it out.

  • And they work nice and all!

    Friction from the full housing is crazy though. Shifts perfectly, but I think I might invest in polymer cables (or bung a load of PTFE lube in there)
