What bike related thing is in the post to you right now ...

Epic bleed kit for TRP Hy/Rds from Amazon.

Croix de Fer is overdue a bit of TLC

This just arrived today (very quick turnaround). Fit is good, nice colour, comfortable. All in all I'm very happy with it

If you mean what I think you mean by sticky, I sorted a 105 5800 lever that wouldn't shift up the block as the grease in place from when the shifter was assembled hardened and went tacky.

I peeled the hood off, flushed it out well with degreaser (spray), rinsed it out to get rid of the degreaser, and, once dry, relubed with a light lube spray (can't remember what exactly but something I'd picked up in Lidl/Aldi). It's worked fine ever since

Make sure you've a roll of solder too. A flux pen helps as well

Just be careful with 18650s they can be volatile little buggers when you apply heat to them. A bucket full of sand to fling it into and an open door near you is the best protection

This little puppy.

no longer an illegal TT'r.

Thanks Cycling Ireland for the added motivation.

Pair of Hutchinson Tundra Gravel tyres from Bike Inn. Wasn't planning on replacing my gravelkings, but they didn't seem to cope well coming out of storage (with the bike) since the holiday in June on a short spin last week. They've lasted three years, which is alright, but multiple non-sealing holes on the rear that I don't really want to chance in Fermanagh next weekend.

Just to say - I was close to going gravelkings again (and would've if the ones in the adverts fitted) but wanted something a bit more grip this time once I was ordering myself.

Huge delay on my ProBikeKit order!

Was supposed to arrive by the 21st of September.

It's still only being 'Processed'.

They have sent me an email apologising for the delay but this is ridiculous!

Anyone else have any bad experience with them?

Have a set of di2 hydraulic disc brake shifters coming from probikekit. Seem to be only place I can find with any stock, good price too, cheaper than I paid around 16 months ago. Was half expecting the 'out of stock' email once order went through but got shipping one yesterday. They say on their site that most stuff is shipped from europe and if not they take the additional cost into account at checkout so the price you pay is the price you see. Fingers crossed it works out like that!

I ordered tyres from them on the 16th and they arrived on Monday so 10 days. Delivered by everybody's favourite courier, Fastway

The main thing you have to be careful with with them in my experience, is that there's a serious disconnect between what you can actually order, where you're ordering from and the price you'll pay (not just VAT differences). A few years ago I was ordering a smart trainer they'd been spamming me about for weeks with a major discount. I was only saved by AIB (don't get to say that too often) rejecting the card transaction - on the last page of checkout when they got my address they upped the price from around €600 to €1100! Never got a satisfactory explanation from them. With the order for the tyres they quite happily let me add a SRAM cassette to the basket (this time knowing they're delivering to the Republic), but wouldn't let me pay for it. The eejits are still spamming me to come and complete the order!

So they're grand for the most part, but caveat emptor - literally

Shifters arrived today from probikekit. Shipped from UK through Fed ex and then passed to fastway in Ireland. No duty or vat added so the price I paid on the site was the final price. Less than a week delivery and a good price.

New shoes and a winter jacket from Ekoi. Current shoes are in bits and been putting it off for 2 years

Yeah I’ve had this happen to me, weeks after the stuff arrived fedex send you an invoice saying “hey we paid your customs for you up front, here’s what it cost plus an extra 20 quid for us cause we feel like it”
