Rock Shox fitted, but chain broken!!


With thanks to J for his help, the Rock Shox Psylo's are now fitted and I rode them to work today. They're plusher and more compliant than the XCR's, which means they bob a lot more than I'm used to. However, they're more progressive, which should mean they won't bottom out so easily.

Was looking forward to a bit of off-road on Monday, but as I tried to climb the bike up a couple of steps on the way home I snapped the chain :( Now I need to agonise whether I go for a full Deore LX groupset or just a chainset or just a chain? The gears are really worn, the derailleurs are out of true and the crank arms are still creaking slightly. I reckon the groupset could win it. Especially at £160!!

Oh, and I sailed through the 400 mile marker today :)
