    Is it a supernatural one?

    I really think my bike would benefit from one as at the minute my seatpost isn't really high enough to pedal efficiently, but also isn't low enough to be totally out of the way, its more if a happy medium, useable for both climbing and descending but not ideal for either.

    I'm unsure on the numbers to be fair....

    How do you get on with the cable routing when the saddle is dropped? Does it end up with a huge loop sticking out?... I assume you've used the front mech routing, but just gone up the seat tube rather than down?

    There is a loop but you don't notice it when riding(I have the cable just long enough to cut down on slack) and yes it's routed along the top-tube alongside the rear mech cable.

    Yeah I considered the Vaults, but they're really expensive for what they are.
    I paid £39.99 for these from Evans with discount code. Needle bearings all round instead of the usual bushes. They really are a nice bit of kit for that money.

    I was going to buy Saints myself but when the vaults arrived unexpectedly with a warranty repaired fork it saved me £45 :mrgreen:

    Make sure you position the remote lever in a non-vulnerable postion....the repair kit for a broken/leaking one is £23 :roll:

    I bought a right hand lever and I've mounted it on the left upside down.... Looks and feels much nicer than mounting it the way it should be.

    Few more 'dress up' bits added, just because I'm a bit of a bike tart.

    Nukeproof wheel stickers
    Hope seat clamp
    Hope grip doctors
    Bullet dust caps (feel like I'm 12 again)

    Nothing to really improve the bike, apart from looks. But it ties everything in really nicely!

    Fuck...thats lucky!!! Guess they really didnt want to lose a customer.

    I had something similar though, my mum forgot to put the door number on her account when she ordered all of my bike bits a while back, so after they all got dispatched my mum contacted each seller telling them the door number. Eventually we ended up having double of everything with no hassle! :D
