Pedals

Put new pedals on the X, basic cheapo metal Shimano PD-R540s. The black & white colour scheme turned out to be an inspired choice – they go very nicely with the black & white “PLANET X” branding on the green frame.

Also adjusted the front brake on the S-Works so that there’s just the right amount of lever travel – had to reclamp the cable at the brake and managed to pull off the crimped cap, but I put a new one on.

I’ll give it a couple of hours then go out on the older Boardman, I think. The lower gears are usable enough. Will get a bit more use out of the chain and cassette before I put new ones on. Planned a relatively high elevation (1,292ft) route up to Melbourne, across to the airport at Donington then back down through Belton.
