Forgot to say before Paul, but really love the look of that orange/black/white combo! Looks superb and not a combination I've seen much of before! I'd have done complete orange on the bar tape although the split colour again stands out and looks good! Impressed!
How tight should chainring bolts be? My torque only goes up to 13 Nm and I've done them past that... Think I'll break it if I go further, I'll use different tools to tighten further.
Tightened my chainrings as tight as I can with 2 allen keys... They're gonna be hard to get off! Heard a click or two on the way in this morning (thinking *oh great*), turns out it was my frame mounted pump moving slightly
Finally decided and got myself a bike sorted!

Gave it a test ride on Saturday and loved it, gears are a bit weird considering they're SRAM, but everything I needed it had, so looking forward to giving it a ride on Tuesday!
Good choice and a fairly good setup for the money (for what little I know of SRAM). Enjoy!
In other news, a bloke from my cycle club has had a crash while competing in a 25 m TT. A silver Bentley pulled out of a junction right in front of him whilst he was doing 25-30 mph and he had no chance. Went straight into the side of the car door denting it and smashing the rear window. The bike is a write off and was impounded by police for evidence.
Christ! That sounds horrific! Hope he comes out ok to make a full recovery and they throw the book at that driver!
Thanks Roady. I agree... Congratulations you have completed our challenge, you are now allowed to BUY our jersey.... no thanks
Haha that's it, 'congratulations, now you can buy our overpriced jersey and we'll also sting you on postage.'
