SLX chainset about to be fitted - that's almost every single bit of my drivetrain now replaced!

Totalnewbie

I don't think my derailleur is strictly compatible with the rest of the stuff it, er, needs to be compatible with on the tourer, and the chain needs replacing, and probably so does the cassette (which is not a cassette, it's a old-style freewheel) so I've been a-ebaying and bought:

*a new Shimano Tourney derailleur
*a new Shimano 7 spd freewheel
*a new Wipperman chain
*a Park freewheel removing tool to unscrew said Freewheel

When they arrive later in the week, and you hear screams of frustration, that'll be me when a) I can't get the freewheel off and b) I can't get the gears indexed properly. Luckily I am not riding this bike over winter anyway, so there's no pressure to get this finished all in one go if I can't manage...the winter hybrid is taking the strain at the moment. That's one *really* good thing about having two bikes, I've discovered...

If you spend over £50 don't you get 10% discount .... or is £45 after the discount. :roll:

BoardinBob

Those 3 took it over £50 which gave me the 10% discount then I added the light

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/YPK_O ... 360032385/

Which took it back over £50 and I entered a discount code from the newsletter which took it back down to £45

Just register for the newsletter under a different email address and they'll send you the code. I was registering a new address for the newsletter and they sent the code through 8)

Persevere for a bit. Most clipless pedals I've had loosen up after a couple of weeks usage. I've been known to do a few unnecessary controlled unclips just to hasten this up a bit...

STEFANOS4784

I bought my bikes ages ago but just managed to work out how to link, hoorah, aaaaaaaah, aren't they sweet :roll:

linsen

very nice. Do they have names?

STEFANOS4784

Not really, i do love them so though i usually call them "good girl" or "c'mon baby" :oops:

Gladys looks like a bit worldly, maybe she could help with real names :?:

Just bought a Torch Highbeamer dual-bulb front lamp with rechargeable lead-acid battery pack (nothing like as heavy as I expected!!) at a bargain price, which has revolutionised my ride home from work, most of which is on unlit country roads. Whereas with the old Cateye battery front light I took the shortest route for safety reasons as even with fresh alkaline batteries things were a bit dim, I'm now back to doing the sort of long evening loops I was squeezing in before the clocks changed. Great fun!

Thumbs up for Wiggle. Ordered that stuff around 2pm yesterday afternoon, arrived on my desk at 9:30 this morning

Surf-Matt

Bike went in and decided I need a new right shifter too so thats now (this week):

New cassette (SRAM PG770)
New chain (SRAM 971)
New front AND rear shifters (both X-7 to X-9 - X-9 is a LOT better!)
New gear cables (all XTR)
New bars (not needed but it looked nice - BBB carbon straight oversized)
New chainset (new SLX, triple chainring)

Oh and new chain lube, more tyre levers (for Mrs Matt to use) and a few more inner tubes!

1 x DHB Earnley 3/4 Bib Tights.
1 x Altura Night Vision Jacket
1 x Cateye Bracket (so I can use my EL600 Single Shot+ on my commute bike)
