Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Midschoolfool:
That's cool !. My 6 piece TNT should arrive next week.
Mikku:
Fitted a new Rant Squad tyre to the front of my Sunday park bike today. I only got the one, as I wanted to check tyre clearance on both the frame and fork before buying a second. It's only a 2.2" but both frame and fork were made before the current era of wider tyres. After a quick test-fit, it looks like the 2.2 will fit the rear okay, so I can definitely buy a second one BUT... now I'm wondering if a 2.35 Rant will fit the fork... >:D
Midschoolfool:
The TNTs arrived. Going back over on Monday.
Hit a couple of stumbling blocks on the road bike.
Firstly that shifter I bought that RRP for 80 quid does not come with a bracket to fit it to your bars. SRAM want 35 quid for it. And no I’m not joking. Thankfully the Chinese make them for 6 quid.
I fitted it after lots of head scratching and then found out SRAM shifters do not work with shimano mechs and vice versa ffs. I’ve bought a sram derralieur for 19 quid.
Annoying. It’s all just very annoying.
Mikku:
I don't think I've ever built a bike that hasn't had its problems along the way. I guess that's part of the "fun" of custom builds otherwise we'd all be buying completes! :daumenhoch:
Midschoolfool:
It’s not fun when you end up with a pile of useless parts lol.
I’m hoping it’s worth the pain. Should be!
