T-Bob Posted January 24, 2017 Share so where is your new ride's review tchjina?!?!? Fark... I thought I'd posted something. Apparently it was just in my mind while out riding and thinking about first impressions. Darn I came up with some scribe quality work in that review. Just never actually wrote it down. Duh. Had a few rides now and actually have some views on the frame, the geo and how it all fits together in terms of what I was planning when I started buying bits and how it ended up.

pista Posted January 24, 2017 Share Picked these up this morning! Spank Oozy Trail 345 29er rims 30mm internal diameter laced to Hope Pro 4 Boost Hubs with WTB Weirwolf and Vigilante tyres. So chuffed with this wheelset. Big thanks to the guys at Trailwolf for putting this together for me! 20170124_134444.pngThose wheels look great!

popcorn_skollie Posted January 24, 2017 Share Sometimes new toys are big, and sometimes they're "end-of-the-month-salticrax" but still tasty..._20170120_073641.JPG Sometimes small purchases like these is all you need to get some new stuff stoke. I bought a pair like these a while back. http://pds.exblog.jp/pds/1/201005/16/52/e0132852_1442989.jpg It might seem like unnecessary bling nobody will even notice. But every time I check the pressures its almost rewarding how satisfyingly well they screw on and off. Those stock black plastic valve caps really are useless.They never really screw on tight enough. And the threads ruin so quickly eventually they just pop off with a generous tug. I have another equally satisfying small purchase.Self locking chain ring bolts like these. Some are torx others are allen. http://www.cyclingtechnology.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/b/o/bolts.jpg But it means that I wont have to use a slipping butter knife when using bolts like these. http://www.jensonusa.com/images/Color-Image/Zoom/5/G00012TK.jpg L.T.G, Andrew_Smith, Suidwes Boytjie and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted January 25, 2017 Share One of my suppliers gave me a lovely gift voucher for Olympic Cycles.........and I treated myself to some blue & shiny! Once again, proof that I do not have "everything to do with cycling" like my wife claims. Now Gedore can work on the Landy and Park Tool on the bikes! gwhite, Andrew_Smith, SilverRider and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing. Ours is R725 if I recall also with a rollover. Problem is that I am so used to "managing the data" that we are still using it like that. I think my package might be a bit excessive but I no longer have any data issues... Will see how it goes and adjust accordingly if required. Great thin is that you can change your package as your requirements change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
