After my little faux pas yesterday and not tightening my saddle and not carrying a multi tool - I finally have bought a saddle bag - which can be changed between the two bikes.

I do not like really wearing a waist bag just to transport a multi-tool.....so this seems the most logical step! Small compact...will fit my multi-tool, bank card, house keys....BOOM :wahhey:

It is a perfect size, decent quality, good reviews....should be here before Sunday's Audax hopefully.

I was tweaking my brothers new Dura Ace setup on his Emonda RSL last week. Was amazed how smooth the shifters were and how different they felt to Ultegra. Proper wanted to upgrade the groupset, despite being only 600 miles in on my Ultegra. Lol

I've never used Dura Ace, I was very close to ordering Ultegra Di2 but thought I'd regret not waiting in the long run :smile: I still can't decide what to do about the chainset as I'll be cascading the groupsets down across 3 bikes. I could get a cheap chainset to go on my commuter or a Dura Ace for the Bianchi :wacko: I know which I'd rather but it's another chunk of cash to save :laugh:

2 wipperman 10sp links, as when I cleaned my chain, the link wasn’t a 10 sp one, which explains why I had an occasional click sometimes! I carry a link tool with me, just because I have one, but I’m going to try the Wipperman link because it appears to be a tool free removal with them.
The trip to France is going to need some tools, but I’d rather limit what I take.
I know you can remove the KMC quick link with wire, but I haven’t been that successful in the past.
I will be taking my torque wrench, as I have yet to be totally sure I correctly tighten these new pitlock s, if I ever need to take wheels off.
BTW, pitstoppers app ar o be a great way to prevent a chance theft of parts, although an expense, I think it’s worthwhile.
