This time it's a new pair of Tacx jockey wheels. Years ago I bought a set of purple anodised jockey wheels. I rather fancied a new pair, but these days they're exorbitantly expensive for what they are. I settled on these. Made from a hard plastic like Shimano, but they have sealed cartridge bearings, which I liked the idea of - smooooooth! And all for less than £12 from Evans Cycles, in record quick time. I'll let you know how I get on with them
Also, arriving in the post after days and days - my new chain and a can of GT85 (not for use together you note!) I was disappointed here. I ordered them from JE James Cycles. First issue - they only deliver to the cardholders address and GT85 won't fit my letterbox and I was going to be in work when it came. Second issue - it took days. 3rd issue - came in a tatty box that's seen most corners of their shop, but it wasn't damaged, so who cares. On the plus side it comes with a SRAM chain link which I didn't order - bargain!! Hang-on where's the Shimano rivet. So they've sent the last captive chain in the shop minus the rivet, but with something in it's place. I shalln't use them again, if they're into pulling stunts like that!!
Now, to fix the bike and sort out my next ride - preferably in the snow. Whilst using other spare moments to persuade SWMBO that a full suss bike is going to help with the washing-up!
