Another working week has come and gone and rather unexpectedly I cycled in on all three days despite some very wet weather in my part of the UK. Monday was a bit of a mistake as I don't normally ride in the rain but I misjudged things and after some light rain it fairly hammered down and for good measure it hammered down on the way home too. Fresh kit on Tuesday and I had good luck with the rain and again today. I'm not in work next week as I have some leave left and as my commuter bike needs a good service (I do my own) I'm tempted to strip it right down and rebuild it with some 8-speed Claris R2000 components off a donor bike. I have 'better' components to hand but my 2012 CAADX has Shimano CX-50 canti's so the brifters need to be New Super SLR.
