So the rear mech hangers finally turned up today, so its been a fettle night. New hanger fitted, chain put back to correct length, mech fitted. Goes up and down the gears and then the chain gets stuck on the rear mech when in the bigger rings. looks like the mech had twisted (in one of the previous incidents) straightened the cage and tried again. little better so twisted some more and seems to be fine? New bottle holder fitted, really hard to tell any weight difference between the cheepo one and this one  New pads fitted to the front, why is it that new pads (these are kevlar ones from carbon cycles) are always that little bit too big anywhoo nice to have a ride round the block with the dog. and nice to be back in the saddle again. Night ride tomorrow night, then if all being well an actual proper ride sunday? |

So, had a full on ride out last night at proper pace, really pleased she handles well. just need to up my game now to keep up! Converted away from single ring up front and mounted the direct mount front derailiure. no more excuses for not making those steep hills!  Also fitted the jockey wheels that i've had on order since january!    Fitted the Xking 2.4 to the front (awesome looking tyre BTW) and a 2.1 WTB Prowler to the rear, the prowler is light and is being a bit alusive with staying up tubeless but looking forward to trying them out.
