After reading the thread "kinda lucky" I've been to check the crank bolts on my bikes. Were they tight?... No, not very.

Been slowly building up my new road bike (decided to give one a try after thoroughly enjoying myself last year on my Giant Escape Hybrid).
1. Fitted new Garmin Edge 800 and cadence sensor.
2. Polished the bike.
3. Fitted new (smaller) saddle bag.
4. Polished the bike.
5. Fitted Ergon GC2 grips (very comfy) obviously I went for a flat bar setup.
6. Polished the bike.
7. Fitted Shimano PD-M520 pedals and set shoes/cleats up (what's the worst that can happen?
)
8. Stood back and admired my handy work (oh and gave it a quick polish
)
p.s. - every time I get a new car I polish the living hell out of it too (until the novelty wears off!)

nothing today but do have a new tensioner to do 2moro pm
. Used a spot of superglue as the bracket was a bit loose. Seems very bright - will give it a roadtest tomorrow night.

Lowered the stem on the hybrid. Out of boredom more than anything else.

Cleaned the CX, Mickled the chain and fitted an old Marathon+ to the front, to match the one I fitted to the rear on Tuesday.
Oh and finally got round to taking the pie plate off

Because they are made of cheese like my Keo cleats, just changed another pair, I know riding fixed is harder on cleats but this is ridiculous. Eyeing up Speedplay but not sure on the wear factor on those either.replaced four spokes on the rear wheel

Will be cleaning the chain of my work colleagues' Cube MTB with my shiny-new Muc-Off X-1 chain scrubber, should be interesting as I don't think he's ever cleaned it, and he's had the bike for about 2 years now
