How long do orders from bike-discount usually take? I was looking at there bikes but I think it said upto 14 days :O

is it one of those bulk selling sites that always seem under staffed and it takes days for orders to get processed even if it's not a full bike?

ordered friday, got it thursday but that is only cause one part was out of stock temp. Usually 3/4 days max
 
yeah postage didnt really factor into my decision to purchase, seeing as a pair of HD tyres were 50% cheaper than CRC.. came within 5 working days?

Let me start my response with a preamble:

I love Superstar, their business model and the vast majority of their products.

HOWEVER

The brakepads suck donkeyballs.
 
Got myself a Zee Mech rear mech and a Race Face Narrow Wide chainring thingymajigg.

I've only had a quick 30 mins play on it so far, but it feels brilliant so far!
 
has anyone tried the superstar disc pads? particularly the kevlars?

I ran some in my old Avid Codes when i had them. Pads lasted and gave plenty of power.

Now I've got The Ones with Formula's own sintered pads and they are terrible. Pads need to bed in every ride, the longer I leave it between rides the worse it is. Made a thread about it on Ride.io and seems a few people have the same issue. Gonna give the SS Kevlar pads a whirl in my The Ones to see how they work

Where did you get the race face ring? I could not see anywhere in UK with stock yet. Well, a couple of places had some colours and sizes but most out of stock.
 
I just couldn't help myself! It does feel lovely though, no loud chain guide annoying the hell out of me! :p

I bought it from Tweeks Cycles. Only place I could find with a 32T in stock in black.
