The what did the postman bring today thread.

Little Bonty arrived!

uh oh

It’s almost a shame to subject this cassette to the level of abuse that its predecessor went through, but that’s life as a consumable...it’ll be partnered with a new chain to keep it company.

Not quite cycling-related -- though I guess it'll get used post-ride -- but the postman just delivered a 12-pack of this:

uh oh

I've inadvertently mislead. I got a Tacx Neo 2T, that is a stock photo as my room is too messy to take and actual picture of mine and I do not own a Legend.

Oh, this happened to come as well:
Attachment 117634

I get dibs on that next!

Breweries have to get creative. I'm waiting for a beer to be called "The Girl from IPAnema."

And these arrived today to replace my underwhelming Chorus/TRP brakes...

You're gonna love (or hate) that Neo 2T.
Don't need a Legend to use it to its full capacity (see below).
Love mine, especially when paired with the TACX training app. Rode in Corsica yesterday, Belgium the day before, Dolomites on Tuesday, Mallorca on Monday. Using it six days a week.
Great perspiration machine for when the weather is nasty.

Absolutely loving it so far. using Zwift I went on a group ride today with a bunch of other Type 1 Diabetics :)

Nice. Which era are those? Recessed nut, metal lever release, "winged" pad holders.... late 80's early 90's?

[Sascha Roszak]

My understanding is first generation Record but others may confirm, these came out prior to the Cobalto’s.

What made you decide you needed reinforcement?

[rabo]

Build one of my bikes up with close to 0 bar /seat drop by using a 350 mm steerer Alpha Q fork. 80 mm of spacers made me just a little uncomfortable. Peace of mind after I glue this in. My back loves the higher bars.
Amazing what a long carbon steerer and a 140 mm stem over rough pavement. Just eating the high frequencies.

[skouri1]

Be careful . Hope that's robust. I had an alpha q without their insert in a bike i bought used . It freaked me out when I realised shop had just pounded a star nut right in. I threw it out. Maybe this will work. I hope so. But with 80mm of spacer i would get an aluminum steerer or a straight steel fork personally

In this case the postman is me picking these up in person... New wheels laced by a local shop to replace an older set I really don't like. Not too fancy, T11 hubs (been on my bench for a few years) and Quill rims, Sapim race spokes, brass nipples. Just need to decide if they go on the road or cross bike...

[claritycycler]

Annie suggested I try one of these, what a sweetie, Woolex merino long sleeve, 1/4 zip, will be used for riding and general wear(no pockets). Got it on a 50% off sale(now sold out) but most likely will get another at regular price, so soft. Fits great, if you're a big guy with long arms the 2xl will make you happy.
