Totally stupid, but I guess bike companies want to hype their bikes and get orders placed now at full lockdown prices.
Who knows maybe Shimano will drop 105 di2 in the interim with a proper product launch.

Shame this hub has brand new bearings too. 6903 front and back on rim brake quattros. These were enduro but NTN/SKF/EZO are good too bought from airevelo bearings.
That's the piece
, let me know if you'd part ways with it and what you'd need for it.6903 go in the wheel hub don't they?

6903 X 2 in each hub.
Just PM your address and I'll post it. Was lying in the shed for a turbo wheel but I have a vision team 30 that'll do the job.

Haven't looked at the front but the rear ones look ok when i took it all apart.
Thanks a lot, that's really kind, got me out of a muddle.

Nice one @Jonny ///M. I don't have to go routing around the back of my garage for broken wheels 
But do let me know if it is needed in future! I'm sure I've got at least the threaded plastic piece.

Got it all back together temporarily, no more bad noises , it was quite mucky so actually good to get it all cleaned up inside and round the pawls, plus the fresh bearings.
Thanks for your help along the way Lethal and your kind offer also

Not bad for having heavy racing 77 wheels on.

Anything you've listed are probably good for the money - regularly recommended and known wheelsets that lots of people are happy with.
You can get better for the money, but a bit more niche or specific things if that's what you require, but equally you sound like you're after something more 'general' like those.
Haha that really made me laugh!
I always use the blue Locktite, cheapest I always found was Halfords. Perfect for cleat bolts (never had one come undone since I started using it 6+ years ago) and various other things.
As mentioned, get NTN or SKF branded bearings and you'll be getting better bearings than Fulcrum branded. It's a good learning curve to change bearings, so you could even go for some cheaper ones from airevelo or 'ebay just to go through the process to 'check' it's all ok (which you've done?) then get some miles on them before changing to 'better' bearings with dual rubber seals (2RS). I like Hambini for when I need one delivered quick (generally 2 days) but there are cheaper options. I quite often use his site to identify what I need then use the SKU numbers to look them up elsewhere.
Lots of chatter about NTN/SKS 'knockoff' bearings being sold branded on ebay, but I've never had any problems with them.
Legend for sorting out that spacer and cover!
That's going some, good numbers!
I'm very behind in here... Work is nuts but really enjoying being based from/working from home still.
Got out last weekend with a club and chose the shorter option as didn't know what my legs would be like 2-3 hours in. Actually finished the ride strong so was a little annoyed with myself. Aiming to go again tomorrow and not chicken out of any long route!
Rapid, think I need to find a chaingang to really rip my legs off each week!
Well had my bike fit for the TT bike yesterday,
I come away with is you need some 30deg pad blocks, come back when you have these and we can finish the fit off, Only slightly miffed as I cant finish cabling the bike now and getting it outside and see how quick it really is.
One thing is sure is I need to do a new ramp test in the new position, Its no use using FTP from my road bike, everything is twice as Brutal and bordering on impossible
Also even more knackered than usual as swimming is back so my shoulders are constantly on fire, the runs are getting longer and longer....
Triathlons are stupid

Not sure if you've ordered but these are the ones I've had made by a guy I know.

You nothing local or not started yet due to covid ?
Some young lads out ripping it up. Some turn of speed about them.
One of them rides over from Edinburgh, does the run and cycles home. 100 miles for him.
Greig brown will do 100 miler during the day then come out and boss the bunch. Makes me feel inadequate
Literally none that I know of unfortunately.

Ahh thats blocked at worked, will take a look when I get home, I have the SELCOF Planet X bars, hopefully they will fit, thankyou
If they’re the Selcof Ultra TT then they’re the same as the PDQ bars so you’ll have no issues.

Out for a ride yesterday evening and my friend noticed this, on my 280 mile old GP5000's -
That can't be good, right? I've contacted Wiggle asking if they can be replaced under warranty...

That's not good!
Interestingly I have a few "threads" coming from my 28mm GP5000s - will keep an eye on them !

I have the Bundy which is racing on a undulating route.
Frankie Weavers 2 groups different pace, 21 maybe for fast group relatively flat route.
Milk run probably about 20mph on lump main roads.
Renfrew bunch is a bit further away but sees 35-40 turn up. Kept together until the turn then it's smashfest to the finish.
Southside chaingang will be up and running soon on a flat course out and back at 26 odd average .
Saturday Douglas run today is effectively a race now which is causing scenes with the old guard.
Then all the A80 spam I give through the winter.
I wouldn't move somewhere I couldn't get groups but you can train better alone realistically and even do a session then join a group for some epic blowing up.
