As a newwbie I thought i'd actually post rather than just read them. I've got a track 08 that has been a joy to ride. I've put on a 105 brake, changed the pedals/cages and changed the bars for some black risers.
My enjoyment has not been without incident though. First, I managed to bend the lockring ever so slightly, so that was replaced with a dura ace one and last week it looks like the bearings in the rear hub have gone. It still rides fine but they is about 1-2mm side movement in the rear wheel, so that will need to be replaced at some point, probably sooner rather than later.
Anyone else had any problems? I know the components are fairly shite but after 3/4 months i would have expected it to hold together a bit better.
