New wheel bearings for my Campag Khasmins. Ordered from Ribble 31.03 and no sign of them yet (sent standard mail - only option)- email to customer care has gone unanswered.

Anyone previous experience of them with parts?

I ordered the same bearings for the same wheels plus some other components just yesterday from Ribble.

Dispatched email received last night and i got a SMS from DPD today saying they would be here tomorrow. I used the last of my free Parcel Wizard deliveries for it.

Nanoflex Pro bib shorts from Wiggle: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/castelli-exclusive-nanoflex-pro-bib-shorts/

Cycled Maynooth to Galway and back again at the weekend, and had to choose between maintaining a comfortable temperature (wind, rain and cold, and my better shorts were all much lighter) or a comfortable posterior, and the former won out. Given how much a gabba helped on the top half, these were hard to resist when they're cheaper than the nanoflex 2, and have the better pad.

First time ordering from ribble, but don't remember seeing a courier option. Would have happily paid the few quid for tracked delivery that arrives quicker - I do this as standard with Chainreaction, wiggle etc.

Anyway they came back to me to say after 10 days they're declared lost, which is tomorrow. They've also suggested I check my local sorting office, but I had them delivered to work. So never any issues with receipt of stuff - small office.

the same helmet I bought two weeks ago - a size bigger (doh!)

I've bought wheels from Ribble in the past and had no issues, but have noticed lately that for larger packages the post office just drops in a 'we attempted to deliver' note without even trying to deliver. I'm surprised they'd send out anything worth more than a few quid untracked.

As i was using DPD parcel Wizard i put my address as the UK(Northern Ireland virtual address) so maybe it gave me a different option.

These arrived today, and while I thought I was gambling on size (XL, and I have XXL in the Endurance X2's which are snug), the reviews proved to be on the money about the X2's being snug, and these being less so, and they're right up there with the best fitting shorts I own based on a quick try on. Not to mention that the longer than average legs mean they actually come down to just above my knees, which at 6'3" tall seems to rarely be a given in cycling kit!

Garmin 520 - delivered already ... yay

Now waiting on that 75 euro delivered deal of 2 Conit gp4000s tyres + 2 tubes

31.6 carbon 'no name' seatpost with set back from Aliexpress! I had been using an inline seatpost and gradually as I got more agile/fitter had been moving it rearwards but now its at the limit of the rails and I need it further back so new seatpost required.

Kask Mojito helmet.... whilst I've had no problem throwing money at wheels, garmin...etc. I've ignored the safety side of things for too long so decided to bin my 6 yr old Bell entry level helmet which has seen better days!

Cracking helmet, money well spent imo.

Aluminium mounting plate to replace broken Garmin 810 mounting tabs from http://www.dogearsgps.com

Around €24 delivered, a lot cheaper than a new Garmin!!

Just ordered one of these myself. Assume it fixed your Garmin as it promised?

An entire bike. Pulled the trigger on the old stock Guerciotti Khaybar on planet X. They price dropped by nearly 300 quid as I was browsing so I went for it. It's last gen, 20 speed, but it's got SRAM Red Shifters, Derailleurs, Rival Crank. Might need to upgrade the brakes, but otherwise think I got a good deal as I can keep my rarely used light wheelset and put them on here. Early Birthday present!

Guerciotti Khaybar

Lovely looking bike. All reference to it on Planet x seems to be gone now.
How much did you get it for?

I paid 800 for it in GBP, so with delivery about €1050. Had I paid in euro, an extra 100-200 I think. Having only ever used Shimano, part of me is not sure how good a deal I got but I nearly spent more for a lot less.

Great price. I'm a big fan of Sram.
I had 10 speed Sram Red on a Planet X. Four years heavy use, never missed a beat.

Now in the back of the car rather than the post. Still have to size it against the 11yo and 12yo - whoever fits it will get it, and the other one will have to wait:pac:

A pair of Zondas, I hear good things!

Park tools spoke wrench on the way, the crappy middle of the road one I have been using for the last year started wrecking nipples. Note to self: when buying tools choose quality over discount %.
