Same stuff, heck £7 what a bargain although wonder how much delivery is. I will buy from there in my next lifetime.

Post edited to mention that. I had a feeling that if anyone would like this stuff it will be EddiePJ

Do you mean the actual disc can make a difference? If so is there any particular styles you recommend to match your brakes+pads.

When I had a downtube bottle battery and the weather was bad I covered it with a shower cap, held on with an eleastic velcro strap from Aldi.

I bought some in March earlier this year when they were on sale and have left them in storage mode ever since. I've just got them out to check them and they are all bang on to the mv exactly as I left them.

Onto the handlebars. I've got a carbon stem and handlebar spare because my current bike (Cannondale) I bought them for use different size stems and parts so never fitted. At least they fit this bike. Brake cutoff reed switched and magnets glues onto the brakes ready.

When looking at silk gloves I often see reviews saying they are not real silk. Would you say these look like real silk ones as they don't look like the silk material as I've known it.

Onto the brakes, I have a set of Shimano hydraulic disc brakes M395. I ordered these when on offer but at the time had just serviced my current cable discs so weren't needed straight away so they got placed on top of a cupboard and forgotten about. I hope these hydraulics are all they are...

A closer look at the gears makes me think the 1st gear will be fine when the chain gets worn/used a bit. The next problem was chain alignment. Chain coming off the single front cog to the outside using gear-8. Changing the bottom bracket spacers around made the chain come off to the inside using...

I have allowed that stop so the derailleur goes just past the freewheel a bit. I will try it allowing enough play for the chain to go right past, just to check it's not that. The B screw is all the way in, otherwise the jockey wheel gets a bit too close to the freewheel.

They are Shimano Altus M310 trigger shifters. You've got me thinking now I wonder if there is any adjustment inside the trigger shifters themselves as gear-1 maybe slightly off.

Derailleur Day. I have a new Shimano Alivio derailleur which never got fitted to my current bike because at the time I found just changing the jockey wheels on that got it working well. and found a KMC8.99 chain in the cupboard I got on offer a while back. Could there be any compatibility...

Wish I'd known that sooner as I went and ordered a new bottom bracket for it, thinking it was important. Any chance you could 'chuck' your next one my way?

I'm sure I had a similar problem before I started adjusting setting P1. Out of interest maybe check the LCD speed on the road against a GPS speedo app on a mobile.

I messed up fitting the bottom bracket ends. I screwed them in without those black spacer washers and squashed/split the plastic tube between the bearings. Oops, won't do that again.

I have been messing about with setting P1 recently as my speed was showing incorrect on a new LCD3. I made sure P2 was correct to the number of speed sensor magnets then used a GPS speedo to give my speed on my mobile phone. Then increased P1 until my speed matched. The default P1 was 87 and I...

A busy day today in the office (the garage) For the front crank, I have a Shimano m590 hollowtech crankset which is too good for my commuting bike. I only need a single gear at the front and struggled to find one to buy at the time so for chain alignment I moved the largest outer ring onto the...

It's starting to take shape before I trimmed the forks down.

I am also making both wheels. The front wheel built a while ago and ended up not using on my current bike. Built from a Mavic A119 rim and a Shimano M525 hub. The rear wheel also built using a Mavic A119 rim and a small Q100H Motor And I've a couple of discs's and Schwalbe Land Cruiser tyres...
