Look what I just got in the post

Just 'post' them back the box, without the forks - and dont send with insurance and claim that it was a Royal Mail mess up...

Ha! But they are much better though... I was thinking of steel ATAC cleats (I know I am ripping them off, the main reason to not do it) but that means the springs will wear through faster. Spare springs are available and I am buying a few pairs of wonky spring ATAC and going to give it a try replacing them. For some reasons only can find US peeps stock the springs but should be a problem finding one in the UK or Europe with a bit more searching.

Have to says it's a lots of effort and expense to avoid going for spd.

SPDs are lighter

And cheaper

that won't work. Just say you've sent it but don't.

Just seen this Howard. Have you ( or Doctor Cake ) started building it yet?

Yes - steerer is chopped and the surfaces are faced. Just waiting for an opportune moment to start moving the geared stuff over from the surly.

F is waiting for a black one to come into stock in order not to copy Dr C.

No excuse not to go on more rides now.

I predict 808 FC clincher, front.

BEST.THING.EVER

What's wrong with your thumbs?

Too weak

And I have to admit the purchase was in large part a reaction to that chap.

Tubs next. It's only a matter of time.

I don't know what you mean.
