Been reading lots today as i got a call saying my bike had been delivered.
So got home and set it up using some info I found on here, tightened everything up and took it for a ride (5 miles) got back home and checked everything was still nice and tight(it was).
really enjoyed the ride and the bike felt great, so light compated to my Halfords special mountain bike I have had for the past yearish!(£120 and did 100 miles a week on it for about 5 months) didnt miss the gears at all only had to tackle one steep hill(bigger than I will do on my work run) and actually found it ok.
My average speed was also slightly higher but it was a shorter run so will see what the Garmin says after my ride tomorrow.
Thanks all for the info, going to order some foot retention next after reading all those links.
Im down in Canary Wharf with work all next week any good shops within walking distance(apart from Evans)
