A few nice upgrades sponsored by my wife for our anniversary!

 

Raceface ARC29 rims with orange Hope Pro 4 Hubs and MAxxis Ardent Race tyres.

 

New Eagle GX 12 speed with Csixx 32T Oval Chainring.

Those Mango hubs are awesome.

Bike Yoke 160mm dropper.... OMG it's buttery smooth... so, so smooth.  Super stoked.

 

Zee germans know their stuff and you can get every conceivable spare for it locally as well. Nice touch.

The last bits finally arrived to add to my new (albeit 2nd hand) commuter bike... can't wait to finally be able to ride the damn thing.

Hate to be that guy, but those bells don't work very well on anything but tar. As soon as you hit any sort of bump it starts making noise and ringing. The spring is a little soft...

 

Hopefully you have a better experience than me with it!
