Boast about your latest purchases here...

[Rigardt@Scott]

Tried these out fro the first time today - put them on and felt so comfy until I pulled out of my driveway

 

Not sure if it's my look x track pedals but they rub on the crank (see the white on my crank) Adjusted the cleats every way I could but it doesn't help

 

It's like I need my pedal extended out - They can't have overlooked this on their design so I will do a bit of googling but I'm not changing my pedals

 

So unhappy as they really look the business and would be great for touring

I found the same issue with Five Ten shoes and Shimano pedals. The Five Tens played well with Crank Bros pedals that allowed spacers shims to be put in. Don't know if that's available for your pedal?

[Wayne pudding Mol]

Put another spacer or two on your pedals? Should that not help?

I will try that - need a few mm's though but worth a try.

[Hello Ruan]

So, I sold my gravel bike, my hardtail, and Transition Sentinel frame all to build the dream "quiver killer" of a bike - a Yeti SB130.

 

Build list:

- Yeti SB130 Turq, Lunch Ride Edition

- Fox DPX2 shock

- Rock Shox Lyrik Ultimate 150mm

- XO1 Eagle drivetrain

- Formula Cura 4 brakes

- One Up 180mm dropper

- Spez Power Arc saddle

- cSixx END carbon bars

- cSixx END 9 Series carbon rims

- CushCore inserts

- Spez Ground Control and Eliminator 2.6 tyres

- One Up EDC tool in the steerer tube

- Shimano XT trail pedals

- Fidlock bottle cage

 

14.3kg all in with everything listed above.

 

Absolute stunner of a build. All I still need to do to finish it off is get black decals for the handlebar and shock.

 

And... as luck would have it, I am sick, so I can just stare at it until I am healthy again.

No way you can let that happen to your sparkly cranks...Longer crank boots?

 

Edit...BTW are they walkable without sparks coming from the cleats?

Ag no man, sorry about that. After all that effort.

With the rounded cleats, they/mine walk perfectly.

 

One negative after having used them a bit, cleat placement is NB. The soles are flexi for waking so getting cleat position right makes a big difference.

They are great for walking - my thinking is for touring so I need to make them work - I really want to do a nice tour soon

So this is not my latest purchase but one I actually made some years ago.

It’s a cycling kit bag from a Cape Town based company.

The bag looked like a great idea and I can now say a few years later that it’s been awesome.

 

It’s big enough to hold all manner of stuff, helmet, shoes, gloves, shades, even knee pads etc.

Because it’s sturdy I can store my stuff in it at home and when I’m cycling away from home I just put it in the car and off I go.

Everything is always in one place.

 

I highly recommend it!

I have no connection or affiliation with them at all, I just realised how much I appreciate it and thought it’s worth a punt.

Oops....yes 36 woulda have been better, but no native 170mm travel in the 2021 36

So the Helm (with a brand new CSU and complete service/overhaul) will be up for sale shortly too

Yeah for sure, but the extra 250g starts adding up after a while. Either way, cup of cement/etc ya know
