Just received an email from Leisure Lakes to say they had some XT shifters arrive, so I bought one quickly

It's like the apocalypse out there trying to source components. But I'm getting there for a large upgrade.

Now, anyone need an ETAP 11spd rimbrake groupset? Might also be selling a unicorn ETAP 11spd Aero TT groupset that's brand new.

TT forum will snap that up!

Cheers, forgot about that place.

Bought some angled TT extension wedges from there a while back!

Managed to cobble together parts for my Di2 upgrade. Using X1 GRX 815 shifter from wiggle and purchased the Right side one from Hong Kong. Hopefully it arrives in good time as it makes the German stockists now seem like a rip off.

Sigma had x3 full pairs left at £490 which is a **** take!

Wiggle were also increasing prices today as they were one of the few left with some stock of certain parts.

We're pretty OK at the moment, we can go outside and ride etc. but the weather is so bad and looks like rain for the next month solid, so I've been back on Zwift trying to get a bit fitter

SoliD · 3 Feb 2021 at 09:51

Exactly same as here then, weather is just horrible 90% of the time, and any nice periods are generally when I'm stuck on my arse working.

My GRX Di2 shifter arrived from Hong Kong via DHL yesterday. I only ordered it last Thursday and it didn't leave DHL HK until late Saturday.

Great service and meant I didn't have to pray for Wiggle to get more stock in.

The two new Boardman gravel bikes I was looking at have had price increases of £50 and £100 respectively.

And still not available.

Meh

Typically I'm trying to look for a hardtail bike to replace my Saracen Powertrax. Cube, Giant, Whyte all no chance.

Bike theft is also massivly up, so if you do go second hand, try not to buy something thats hot goods. Do a bit of due dillgence.

How much do you want to spend?

Mikey · 17 Feb 2021 at 18:08

Found an Orange Crush 27.5, so prob just going to roll with that.

Trying to find any sort of decent reviewed mtb lid at the moment in the right size is crazy hard.

Mikey · 20 Feb 2021 at 14:54

I purchased an Endura lid today with the Crush Pro, nice.

Having the same problem here, need a new lid before getting out on the trails and am looking at the Cube Pathos but finding anywhere with my size in stock is nigh on impossible.

I was told by a local retailer Cube haven't shipped anything to the UK since December due to Brexit and maybe not intending to.
