It's been a while.
The pedals are done and I love them. Best grip I ever had on a flat pedal (to be fair I never owned a pair with replaceable pins).
The front tyre was finally replaced by one without a wobble but I was a bit unlucky with some other components too. The front chainring bend on a slow ride through Epping and had to be replaced. Thankfully that was less of a hassle than getting the replacement tyre.
I also realised I am not quite happy with the cockpit. I want something a bit more classy and slightly shorter reach. Going through my options I decided to try a shorter Nitto Technomic stem and some Nitto B135 AA Rando Bars. I always like their look but was put off by their limited width. I decided to give the widest 45 cm version a go but due to an error got the 42mm version delivered...
45 seems to be sold out everywhere.
But due to my latest misfortune, I am not in a hurry. I was pushed off my bike by a car taking an abrupt left turn into the bike lane and smashed my left wrist. No riding or building bikes for a few weeks.
