    A pair of these

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OUTLAND-CNC-CRO-M ... a6ffc790ca

    Just to try really, hardly any pins so I'm not sure they'll give me the grip I want but if not they can go on the rigid.

    A new bearing for a Cane Creek IS3 headset. It turns out if you're not paying attention when you knock one out of a works component headset cup, you end up mangling it, surprising eh? :oops:

    Not exactly the colour scheme I wanted but it was the only pair in stock!

    Also just ordered a Shimano LX chainset.

    Can you post up if they're any good Blackspur? I might go for them if the price stays the same.

    Got my new Saint rear hub today, with a centrelock rotor, and I have to say, the centrelock system is just great.
    Why aren't all hubs like that? Sod the weight, I'm sick and tired of tiny little hex bolts corroding into uselessness.

    They are amazingly good though. I was a bit dubious, but thought, what the hell...
    But when it arrived, I was in awe of the engineering perfection :lol:

    they are great, spesh if you are a bike mechanic and you are fitting the 16th torx bolt of the day, which you then round off, then have to drill the head off, then dig out the extracting thing from the tool box.

    Just bought an old set of Mavics for my rigid project. It'll be alright if they're worn out since I'll probably only ride it once :lol:

    Have just ordered a new SLX HG80 cassette.

    Seems that my current XT cassette (2nd hand off ebay) and my new chain dont like each other (mad chain jumping on 2nd and 3rd last chainrings)

    Once my old bike bits have sold on eBay, im also ordering a Goodridge gear cable set in white :D

    just been informed by Superstar that it could take up to 8 weeks for my wheels to arrive as they don't have the gold rear hubs in stock
