  • Yeah, there is this Japanese shop Circles that have loads of good stuff not available in Europe. Will wait until I ‘need’ a few things from there again.

    Got some more silver bits on, due to an incident with a chainring.... Amazingly managed to get home, clutch mech kept the chain on.

    I’ve got pretty much a straight block on the back so might be a bit of huffing and puffing going on tomorrow.

  • Must be the time of year... I had every single spoke in my rear wheel come completely loose after just 2 days on it. I had to buy a spoke key and re-tension the entire wheel at the side of the road and try and get it as straight as possible just so I could carry on working. Not impressed with the wheelbuild. I've never had that happen in 40 years of cycling. I'm amazed the wheel didn't collapse.

  • Stainless can be brittle though, depends on the treatments it's had.
    Been using a cheap on one stainless ring for years (it's outlived two bikes) and no problem, its not light though.
