Noticed that yesterday, over a certain amount and they seem to get rid of the postage. Not sure if there is a hard and fast number or just certain sized items have it built in.

They have an offer until COB today to do free EU shipping over €100, and they run similar ones from time to time, but usually there are shipping costs associated.

EDIT: I have a Kask Mojito winging its way to me for 94 quid by virtue of same offer and a 15 euro voucher they sent me in early December.

What light did you go with?

Just ordered an IQ-X from rose on a whim before Xmas to replace a 60 lux b&m which was fine to!

I've used a rear b&m (seculite I think) which will fit on seat stay. I don't bother with it any more, too much cabling for my liking.

What rim and who'll build it for you?

jon1981

Pair of Conti 4 seasons
Top peak Saddle bag
Electrolytes

Hu Deman

Shimano 105 Crankset 5800
Shimano 105 12-28 cassette
Prologo Kappa saddle
Elite Bottle holders
Shimano pdr 550s
That should do to start.

You'll have to try hard to break that wheel!

I'll try and do a beam shot comparison between the two, although tricky with dynamo lamps

SMP Dynamic saddle, Giro Synthetic helmet and Shimano R321 shoes. Expensive day for the credit card

It will be replacing a CXP33 which is fairly bomb proof too, but can keep them for the longer days if need be. Hunting down a rear 32H hub to get matching wheels now.

Edge 25 HRM bundle and kinetic road machine smart.....lots of good intentions

Set of disc askiums on the way, think there is concrete in the ones that came on the bike.

One of these:



My Canyon Ultimate CF SLX frame succumbed to some damage just before Christmas, which may/may not be able to repaired... to the rescue, my wonderful missus! She hooked me up with the Curve Belgie Ti Disc frame and 45mm Curve G4 wheels. The rest of the components I can salvage from the damaged frame: Campagnolo Record groupset with power2max Type S power meter, Specialized Power saddle and aluminium Ritchey stem and bars.
I can't wait to get my paws on it. I love the industrial look of it and the external cable routing.

Giro Synthe... literally just landed on my desk

Titanium seatpost with a clamp suitable for carbon rails - pretty hard to find as it turns out. Most have clamps for 7mm round rails - which are generally steel and ti - whereas carbon based tend to be oval at 7mm X 9mm. They also require a broader clamp area to minimize the chance of creating a pressure and friction point.

Had to get it from Taiwan and it may require a bit of filing to make sure the contact area is smooth.

I was thinking about a Ti seatpost to complete the look, but decided to stay with the carbon seatpost from the Canyon. I've not even ridden a Ti bike and am chucking all my proverbial eggs in the basket! Off-topic, slightly, but how do you find the "ride quality"?

It's actually for stainless frame so not sure, but I'm expecting it to be great. Have another stainless bike and I love the feel of it.

Not sure how much the seatpost will contribute to the overall experience however the look suits the frame material. All the other steel/ alu posts are too shiny.

Is that a Thomson masterpiece on yours? They are the business!

I hope it works out to be comfy for you!

This photo with the Thomson seatpost is just a "stock" photo from the website; I'll be chucking my carbon Canyon seatpost in the Curve Ti frame.

SKS Raceblade Pro XL Mudguards

Front mudguard broke when I was out yesterday.
New ones ordered. €52 from Cycle SuperStore.

Could have got them for a couple of euro cheaper on CRC but they get enough from me.

Cleaning kit... the roads are filthy, I only clocked 40km this week but the bike looks like somebody buried it in a field and then took it for a spin...
