No cycling today, but: I did finally get round to sorting out the Planet X. New hanger, rear mech, chain and gear cable fitted. Only took about half an hour.
Annoyingly, the KMC 11 speed chain I’d bought was too short! So I made up the length with an unused bit of chain from the last KMC 11 speed chain I bought. They aren’t actually exactly the same – the new chain is shiny metal with black centre links, whereas the spare links are uniformly dull steel coloured.
I only had one quick link so I had to join them using a chain tool. I knew hoarding spare bits of chain would come in handy one day.
I was going to leave setting it up for another day but I went ahead and finished the job. The chain seems to be going round smoothly enough and doing all the changes properly on the stand, but I dare say it’ll need tweaking after a ride.
