New grip shifters for sons bike! May not excite us all but it's still fun opening a package and I know a 10 year old that's going to be totally over the top excited!

Now waiting on grips & tyres...

Headset looks good chatman, cant decide about the spacers though, was looking at some for mine but can decide if I like the ribbed effect or the all solid.

I thought ribbed was the default choice...

I just changed my headset... no pics... over and done with too quick... really didn't realise how easy it is to have a solid headset... :wtf:

You changed the headset (or did a nice friendly mechanic we all know have a 99% share in it) ;-)

Insulted am I! Now I know I'm known for breaking them and not fixing them but on this occasion it was 100% me (lets see how long it lasts...)

If only i'd remembered to order a Shimano HGX chain link.... now the hunt begins to find one in the city that i can get too in my lunch break, which starts in 5mins....

Whats a HGX chain link ? is that like a sram quicklink ?

unityjon · **Posts:** 2082 **Location:** Southend

The chain is HGX or something the link is the pin you push through to join it back up rather than a crappy speed link.

bought a pack of 5 from Cycle surgery at southwark bridge. the Zee is now yours
