Tried to do the bar tape myself. Failed miserably, so I dropped in to CCACHE to get Sam the man to do it right!

Wheels, tyres and chain on.

5.46kg with pedals!

Just had to at least mock up the build whilst I’m waiting for a lower headset dust cover to replace the huge (and ugly) 20mm OEM dust cover.

Still to do:
– Brake cable inners and outers
– bar tape
– Ceramicspeed headset dust cover

I put an order in on these wheels on the 2nd of October via the Wheelsfar web site. Turns out the Extralite hubs were on backorder, so my wheels weren’t going to be built until end of the month. It’s been a long wait, but the wheels came in today and they were packed well (box was in great condition) and the wheels look great!

Included in the package were some quick release skewers, full set of brake pads and some Extralite hub grease too.

Now I’m just waiting on a Ceramicspeed headset dust cover to come in from R2 Bike (parts in order also on backorder and order was put in on the 30th of September). That’s been shipped though, so once it’s in I can get on with the build!
