    Not so much in the post but waiting on bike to be built. Managed to get the majority of the groupset, ultegra di2 disc, but had to go to nearly a different shop for every part. Only thing I'm still waiting on is the power meter crank, but got tired of waiting and just looking at the frameset so took one off one of the other bikes that will do until the new one arrives. Now just waiting for the call to collect, hoping this afternoon.

    Whats the quality like? I liked the look of it but was worried about how it would fair out in a collision


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭Mc Love


    Good fit, visor fits over your glasses if you wear them. Easy to adjust.
    Seems like a good build.

    Out for a ride this morning. Some questions on safety. No identifiers that I can see, but neither can I see any on my giro helmet

    Just a quick question. Can I mix Look pedals and cleats with Shimano SL type shoes, thanks?

    There's what appears to be a CE mark on the final photo?

    An 11-42 cassette for my second wheelset after a 1x conversion (huge challenge to find this)

    A hydraulic brake hose to try to finally solve an RS505 brake that has never worked in the three years I've had the bike - going to replace both the caliper and the hose and all connections. Those levers are horrible so would just change everything if it was the lever that was the problem.

    Galibier socks and mitts. Always surprised & delighted with their free post when some bike companies on this island (Victory Chimp & Donda) charge €14 for shipping.

    And a rucksack.

    This and a chain arrived. Very pretty, very light and a single bit of CNC (well the gold bit).

    A pair of Oakley sutros that I’ll wear once, find too dark, then place in a drawer never to be seen again


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,863 ✭✭✭✭crosstownk


    Two more pairs of socks (it's ridiculous at this stage), some hydration tabs to bulk it up for free delivery.

    Why not just buy enough socks for free delivery


  • Registered Users Posts: 21 Numanoid817


    A new Kask helmet as a replacement for the one I recently crashed head first in. (It looks to be fine, but I've been told it's probably best to replace it) And a new Defence Forces cycling kit, which I'm particularly looking forward to getting.

    A couple of Ekoi short sleeved mesh base layers. Already have one and it's the best summer base layer I've found.

    Fair point (as one can never have too many socks :pac: ) but CRC didn't have a third pair that I fancied so I opted for hydration tabs as the young lad has taken to using them on warm days for his football/hurling training and matches.

    New Met Manta helmet from SIgma Sports as i smashed my current one is a crash last week.

    A Restrap 14L saddle bag and top tube bag for a bit of bike packing next month

    PowerBar Natural Energy Cereal Bar & HIGH5 Energy Bar

    And not totally bike related, but a Massage Gun I seen on the Amazon Bargain Alerts thread last week



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,728 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    No, on a club spin with confusion over direction meant one minute i was on bike next i was looking at the sky. Fairly shook & two days in hospital with ribs and concussion.

    ouch. hope you're on the road to recovery.

    DT Swiss ER 1600 Spline DB 32mm wheelset and adaptors to replace my DT Swiss R24s that had a freehub failure over the weekend, also new freehub to fix up the old wheels as a spare set. Forgot to buy the damn disc rotors at the same time so ordered them up this morning. Should be all set for this time next week and be able return the ageing Ridley Triton back to the turbo trainer. Double checked all the part compatibility and hoping I haven't messed up...



  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 15,750 Mod ✭✭✭✭smacl


    Wheels and rotors arrived but adaptors are delayed so I'm just stuck staring at the new wheels for now. New freehub also delayed so Ridley will be on the road a bit longer.

    already arrived, but ordered bib shorts from galibier on thursday at 11pm, and had to dress in a hurry yesterday morning when the postman knocked on the door with them at about 8:15am. that's a good turnaround.
