  • Some not particularly exciting new arrivals that have been dripping-in over the last few days:

    1. C-Bear GXP bb... I dithered endlessly about getting non-GXP cranks but finally decided to keep the ones I already have. Path of least resistance and all that. Anyway the C-Bear bb looks nicely made for the money... hopefully it performs well too.
      I might look into chainring alternatives as I've heard Sram ones are made from butter (but not as tasty)

    2. Lifeline skewers. They were even on offer woop woop!

    3. KMC superlight chain.

    So I have an unused Sram 11sp chain and GXP bottom bracket going spare if anyone's interested.

  • Lifeline skewers. They were even on offer woop woop!

    Bit late but they don't really work well and strongly recommend against (as well as open cam skewer) as they do not provide enough purchase to hold the wheel in place (can cause creaking, maybe even move in the drop out, wear the drop out face).

    It's not a place you wanna skim on weight, go for Shimano skewer that have a closed cam.
