Remember to grease the threads on yer new ones and it will help next time the job needs doing.[/quote]
Copper slip, copper slip and more copper slip!!!

Coincidentally I swapped to my m520 pedals this pm, and I was suprised how loose the T3 pedals were; hardly any force needed. (sorry Alex11). I noticed the thread had grease on, but I put some copper grease on the m520 threads before putting them on. I did use a the 15mm pedal spanner from my existing tool kit though..(third blue in from the right), but tbh i'm pretty sure an adjustable would have done the trick.

My Lidl bike computer is made of cheese.

I noticed when putting the m520 pedals on that the shimano recommended torque is 35-55Nm. So the pedals should be pretty tightly on!

Hi,

Am looking to buy my first road bike and the Triban 3 seems like the best option but do you think it is worth waiting for the new model due out this month or buy one of the current ones? (even though stock is lacking)

I see the new model will be £20 cheaper but not sure if it will be as good. Any advice?

buy the current one.

The new one doesnt have the carbon fork or shimano shifters. I'd happily spend the extra £20

Ah thank you. Will wait for more stock of it! Can't wait.

 

[BrianEvesham]

Buy the current one ASAP before they stop selling them.

 

[stewby]

Anybody had any info from Decathlon about when anymore stock of the current T3 is due? None anywhere again at the minute.

 

[Kies]

Check with Surrey Quays ... They had some when the web site said out of stock (summer 2012)

Do you still have an 8 speed cassette and the original derailleur?
