I'm leaving my front mech alone - I bent it back into place in Charlottesville and it worked until the finish. Make a bit of noise when extreme cross chaining but that only happens when I'm testing the gears.
Why is your headset squeaking?
I used clips on my dynamo - didn't want any joins I couldn't redo in the field. What dynamo do you have?
Started downloading RWGPS offline last night but think it stopped. Will check tonight.
I've got existing maps from previous TCRs I'm using.You're doing the Eurostar shipping - that worked well for TCR4. There were some other riders on the train. They never have enough Leffe.
hippy-

The top cap was directly on top of the stem and making some noise. It's not making any noise now there's a spacer between stem and top cap and been retorqued . Seems to have gone away. Headset is brand new.

SP PL8X 15mm TA . Just soldering the Igaro and lighting cables together. As they kept coming apart where twisted.

Cranks tightened, front mech adjusted, spacer put between top of stem and top cap to eliminate squeak & wiring entry into dynamo properly soldered. Everything nice and quiet (for now!)
RWGPS routes downloaded offline to phone. Will download to Garmin(s) tonight. Downloaded free OSM for all countries my route goes through and those either side.
Bike ships out tomorrow morning. Drop it off before work at St Pancras.
