  • A bottle of Muc-off and a brush so i can actually clean my rear cassette, I didn't get very far with a toothbrush. Will also soon be ordering some new brake pads thanks to supersonic.

    I am also contemplating buying a new chain, a maintenance book, some inner tubes - can never have too many and some new pedals.

    I have just ordered a Carerra Fury, will be picking it up on Sunday :).
  • Nice, did you get it with the money off? It's down at about £450 now isnt it (I think I read this in another thread)?

    Tell you what, if I had some spare cash right now, I'd have one of those.

    when you look at it individually you think fair enough, but add it up like that and :shock:
    if my wife had found out that i had spent that much she would be going garrity!
    and the obvious statements like "what was wrong with your old brakes" "you already have a Chain/Wheel/Etc"

    VW - she does sort of understand and doing well in that tri seemed to give me a license to spend more on kit but I do admit to using a few methods (Paypal, debit card then direct payment) to sort of "spread" the impact a little... :wink:

    If I just mentioned the full price I'd definitely be in la maison chien.
