Look what I just got in the post

Who made that fork?

Apparently handsomedog, and over a decade old - a kindly forumer sold them to me in my hour of need. Near identical are the PX ones you can get disc only or disc + v.

I still have one, just like that.

New cassette for the CdF because I stupidly didn't replace the chain frequently enough with it getting stretched & knackered an £85 cassette, grr.

The cost of those things really is something else. And they aren't getting cheaper.

Does anyone know if I can pick up something from the postal depot without the card if I have the tracking number and ID that proves my address?

Hylix 1" fork. 336g, just 6g more than claimed weight. Seems really solid, looks well made, nothing to criticise so far... oh, and spending £2 on expedited shipping was well worth it, as it arrived really quickly from China. No customs charges.

Let's see how it does once it's actually on the bike!

I've done it before. Can't say if its "allowed" or not though.

Well they didn't even ask for the card.

Guess how many, win a prize

A pair of 650B Gravel Kings from good old Planet X. Fucking idiots.

I've ordered one of these for my pals bike but foolishly didn't expedite shipping. Let us know if it spontaneously combusts causing death!

It had a crack in the carbon at the right-hand-side dropout. I've sent it back, it's currently in customs there, but I have been refunded the return shipping costs already, so I'm hoping the rest of the refund should be straightforward.

Ordered and fitted a Columbus Minimal Fork instead.

Classic PX.

Now wait for:
You can return for exchange but you have to pay postage yourself

The Jack Brown tyres in 700c that I personally got from PX were mega hard to put on a 700c rim. Snapped a couple of levers, swore and grazed knuckles.

Time to upgrade the shithandles on the scrapyard bmx.

Stop buying crap bikes

Whaaaaat who said I was buying them? I’m just acquiring them and riding them into the ground.

These were at the scrapyard before rescuing it (for a small £).
